Yes, it was Hakuho; let’s see if/when he gets a promotion.
But Tochinoshin didn’t wrestle him the entire tourney?
That strikes me as strange...
Anyway, I suspect Hakuho will need another two or three tournament wins to move up a peg, but, as I said, I’m no expert.
Hakuho is already yokozuna...the last sumo tournament I got to see was the aki basho in Tokyo back in 2006, had a bento lunch there called the Hakuho, which I ate while watching Kotooshu win his bout. Didn’t know at the time that I wouldn’t be seeing Japan again for at least eight years.
