The January Grand Sumo Tournament (一月場所：ichigatsu basho, or 初場所:hatsu basho) has started on January 10. Today was the 14th day and there is one day left. But Yokozuna Asashoryu (横綱朝青龍) became the champion today without waiting for senshuraku (千秋楽), the last day.
This is his 25th victory after two tournaments. This is the third best record in history. The number one is 32 victories of Taiho (大鵬), and the number two is 31 victories of Chiyonofuji (千代の富士).
Congratulations!
