Yokozuna Hakuho mugged komusubi Yoshikaze on Thursday to stay tied for the lead on the fifth day of action at the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament.
Hakuho showed nifty footwork at the charge and got behind Yoshikaze (4-1) in a flash before easily bumping him out to make it five wins from five at the 15-day basho at Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium.
The result saw Hakuho move within six wins of former ozeki Kaio's all-time record of 1,047.
