Hakuhō Shōの英語

Hakuhō Shō (白鵬翔^?, born March 11, 1985 as Mönkhbatyn Davaajargal, Mongolian: Мөнхбатын Даваажаргал) is a professional sumo wrestler (rikishi) from Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Making his debut in March 2001, he reached the top makuuchi division in May 2004. On May 30, 2007 at the age of 22 he became the second native of Mongolia, and the fourth non-Japanese overall, to be promoted to the highest rank in sumo, yokozuna. He has won nineteen yusho or tournament championships to date. In 2009, he broke the record for the most wins in a calendar year, winning 86 out of 90 bouts. He became the only active yokozuna in 2010, following the retirement of his rival and fellow Mongolian Asashōryū. In that year he established the second longest winning streak in sumo history.
