The worst-kept secret in sumo is now official-Onosato has been promoted and is now The 75th Yokozuna in history! It was a foregone conclusion after winning the May Tournament this past weekend for his second straight championship with records of 12-3 in March and 14-1 in May. Onosato, real name Daiki Nakamura, 24 (he turns 25 on June 7), went from debut at Makushita 10 to Grand Champion in a record-fast 13 tournaments, winning 4 Emperor’s Cups so far and 8 Special Prizes in just 9 top tier tournaments, and a career record of 135-44, 101-34 in the top tier, and has yet to have a losing tournament.
