Hakuho Sho is the only yokozuna active today.

Born Munkhbat Davaajargal in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, on March 11, 1985, he was the son of a champion of Mongolian wrestling (and an Olympic silver medalist). Moving to Japan at the age of 15 he joined the Miyagino heya, or stable. He made his tournament debut, at the lowest rank, in March 2001. His power and strength were quickly recognized and he moved swiftly up the ranks, appearing at his first senior tournament in May 2004. He won his first Emperor's Cup in May 2006 and was promoted to yokozuna on May 30, 2007 -- a promotion delayed due to injury. He was only the fourtrh non-Japanese to attain the rank.

In the calendar year 2009, Hakuho won 86 of his 90 bouts, a sumo record. He favors the yotsu-sumo-style of fighting, grappling rather than thrusting. He is often compared to a previous yokozuna Takanohana. He has said, modestly, "the only thing I am very good at is yorikiri (force-out)" http://sumo.goo.ne.jp/eng/ozumo_meikan/rikishi_joho/rikishi_2320.htmlhttp://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/ss20090419a1.html

In the Spring basho held at Osaka in March 2010. Hakuho went unbeaten at 15-0 for the fifth time to win his 13th Emperor's Cup.

Hakuho is married, weighs about 340lbs and is 6'4" (192cm) tall.

Perhaps the biggest fight in Hakuho's career was his playoff victory against sekiwake Miyabiyama on the last day of the May tournament in 2006. The then-ozeki Hakuho had lost to Miyabiyama on the 5th day of the tourney, and both rikishi finished the tournament with identical 14-1 records, setting up the playoff.

The final match became an extended grapple until Hakuho used his strength to lift the much heavier Miyabiyama out of the ring. This fight was important because it gave Hakuho his first Emperor's Cup. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/ss20060522a1.html
