Yokozuna Hakuho made history twice at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Saturday, claiming a record 41st Emperor's Cup with his 1,000th victory in the sport's top division.
The 33-year-oldimproved to an unassailable 14-0 record by beating ozeki Goeido on Day 14 of the 15-day tournament at Ryogoku Kokugikan, becoming the only wrestler to reach 1,000 wins in the process.
The closest any wrestler has come to Hakuho's top-division record is former ozeki Kaio, who retired in 2011 with 879 wins in the makuuchi division.
