Hakuho blasted out Terunofuji to register a quick-fire third win on Tuesday and keep his share of the early lead at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament.
The Mongolian yokozuna met little resistance from Terunofuji (1-2) at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan, charging the top-ranked maegashira out of the ring in a matter of seconds to make it three wins from three at the 15-day basho.
Hakuho's yokozuna rivals, Harumafuji and Kakuryu, also won handsomely, while Kyokutenho and Ichinojo are also in an all-Mongolian five-way tie for top spot.
