Yokozuna Kakuryu came from behind to win consecutive tournaments for the first time in his career on Sunday.

It was the Mongolian's fifth title overall, drawing him level with well-known names such as Kashiwado, Kaio and Wakanohana III.

After a dreadful 2017, when he only managed to complete a single tournament, Kakuryu began the year facing the possibility of having to retire if he couldn't return to competitiveness.
