It's official: Kisenosato has Hakuho's number in a big way.

Yokozuna Hakuho was thrown to a shock defeat at the hands of Kisenosato for the second straight meet at the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament on Wednesday, falling to his first loss since having his 63-bout winning streak stopped by the same opponent last November.

In the day's final at Ryogoku Kokugikan, Hakuho never even got rolling as Kisenosato (7-4) stood firmly before the lone yokozuna before sending him out with a few well-placed shoves.
