Sets All-Time Record

    The smiling stalwart with the giant handsome trophy is Grand Champion Futabayama who this week won the championship of the sumo tournament at the Kokugikan amphitheater for the twelfth time, breaking the all-time record of eleven championships by Tachiyama. He won 15 bouts to go undefeated, the only wrestler to do so, through the 15-day tourney.
