Yokozuna Hakuho said he has applied for Japanese nationality, which would enable him to get around an unwritten “no foreigners” rule and remain in Japan’s sumo world after his retirement from the ring.
Mongolia-born Hakuho was famous for his diligent training that led him to be the sumo grand champion or Yokozuna with victories in a record 45 tournaments. He achieved 1,187 wins, an all-time record in sumo.
