Hakuho goes down as one of, if not the, greatest rikishi to ever enter the dohyu.
After announcing his retirement in 2021, Hakuho Sho, believed by many to be the greatest rikishi in sumo history, said his farewell to the sport this weekend in an emotional ceremony at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.
As part of the traditional ceremony the outgoing 37-year-old yokozuna performed his final dohyo-iri, flanked by fellow wrestlers Takakeisho and Hoshoryu.
