@@sapwoodwildwood5843 He's better. Sumo is the hardest sport to survive. While your athletes live wealth they have to live in the stable 24h and eat so much, sustain obesity. While restricted by so many life rules and obligations. If a sumo wrestler gets injured he gets demoted fast, unless he's yokozuna. While basket ball players get to rest and get his full salary. Sumo is a higher sport than playing with a fucking ball. STFU kiddo
Thanks for posting this documentary. Hakuhou will always be the absolute greatest for me. I still feel shivers whenever I see him, from his mere presence. Even if his record is beaten, there will forever only be one Hakuhou. He is the incarnation of Shin Gi Tai, the avatar of the God of Thunder come to Earth to save and rejuvenate Sumo. I'm glad the documentary shows how he single-handedly did just that. In his final bout with Terunofuji, he really looked like Takemikazuchi fighting Takeminakata at the dawn of Sumo. Most of the people who were involved in the litany of scandals that plagued (and still plague) Sumo were (and still are) established Japanese personalities. Yet nobody says "The Japanese are destroying Sumo." Otoh, Hakuhou (or any foreign rikishi) pumps his fist or gets a little carried away in a fight, and you hear all the ungrateful hypocrites at the JSA, in the media and among Japanese fans cry "The foreigners are corrupting Sumo!" That Hakuhou was the one who had to publicly apologize for them so many times and put _his_ face on _their_ corruption and shame was outrageous, yet he still did it without complaining. His class is unparalleled.
@akgd Same for me. Agree with u a 120 % Long Live Hakuho Sho! U will always be my favourite my idol my inspiration my King of the ring. Go go Hakuho!!!
I’m from the Caribbean, born and raised, still living here. 19 years ago I was in Mongolia for a few days during one of the greatest trips of my life (Russia, Mongolia, China). We were in the lobby of this hotel where we were staying when suddenly this huge guy walked in and all the hotel staff and Mongolian guests went out of their minds in excitement. We asked who this guy was that was causing this conmotion. They told us he was the famous Mongolian sumo wrestler. We still had no idea but thought it was cool to take a picture with him, as everyone else was doing. Some time later I saw a NatGeo documentary about the two Mongolian yokozuna’s, and what would you know, one of them was the guy on the picture (the other was Asashoryu). I don’t follow sumo but from then on I would occasionally google Hakuho and would always be amazed that this guy I met for a few minutes in a chance encounter at the other side of the globe would one day become the greatest sumo wrestler of all time.
One lesson from Hakuho's legendary career is that you can never make certain people like you or not hate you. It will always be their own choice. It takes no reasoning to hate you when they want to. However, the bigger lesson is that, there are still always things that you can control, and a truly strong person will control all of them - training hard, competing, winning, showing compassion to those in need of help...... in the end, who cares if some preposterous sumo fundamentalist or Japanese nationalist hates him or not? He is loved by many from all over the world, and his acts and own decisions made this happen. He is really the greatest of all time! ❤
he's not only beloved by Japan he's beloved all over the world no matter what's your nationality is if you became at the top, work hard to keep your spot, thanks you Hakuho for being a Yokozuna in the years I start watched Sumo thank you for making us loving the sport thanks to you I'm in love with Sumo and looking forward to see the who's gonna be the next Yokozuna after Teru, also one of the rikishis who made me love the sport, thank you Hakuho for sharing with us your feelings and I'm sure if you did share this earlier fans would understand but as a Yokozuna you kept your pride and showed no fear on the dohyo or when they criticized you, you showed us how strong a Yokozuna can be and must be on top each time or retire that's the pride of a Yokozuna thank you for being great form the start till the end, Mongolian or not Hakuho you are the current best Yokozuna ever even when you retire you set a record for others to break this should be their next goal you gave them something to fight for a motive so they push themself to reach that goal and set another record.
Japanese people are really stuck up about accepting foreigners. Hakuho is amazing. He deserves everyone's affections. He's truly the best. I hope he is happy and healthy for the rest of his life.
It makes sense and is quite understandable tho, it would be kinda salty to see someone who's an "outsider" to excel and be better in your own field of game. Sumo is their sport and on top of that their tradition as well, they founded it so naturally they should be better in it than anyone else..
@ooga3757 that's not true is the inventor of the pencil a better writer than all the authors after? Is the inventor of the horses saddle a better rider than every cowboy? Is the inventor of chess the best chess player? Just because you invented the thing or the game doesn't mean your gonna be best at it. Plus if they didn't want foreigners to begin with they shouldn't have let them in to begin with. But since they have they should respect and admire this guy for being the greatest of all time.
i have never seen or heard about Takanohana but your short introduction and the bout and how the ppl cheerd when he won his face when he won all of that really moved me. truly an inspinring clip. i got teary eyes after that
Tuve la fortuna de ser testigo del principio y final de la carrera de uno de los Yokozuna más grandes de todos los tiempos, Hakuho Sho, el hombre que encarnó al Sumo.
the disrespect he has faced is a national embarrassment for Japan. Kisenosato brings hope for an upcoming generation of elders who will respect foreigners and make sumo better.
I love this documentary. I'm so glad Hakusho followed thru with his destiny and let the record books speak of his love for Sumo, the Japanese Culture and Tradition.
I followed Hakuhō from the beginning as I did with Asashōryū and Chiyonofuji. They are, along with Taihō, the best ever. Although Hakuhō is alone in his kind.
I didn’t expect Asashoryu to say such nice things about Hakuho. They were fierce rivals for years, and if not for a biased JSA they would have been for many more.
They were like brothers off the ring. THey knew each other in ulaanbaatar as children before they come to Japan. Their fathers also knew each other who competed in a same sports. THe fathers used to call each other before Hakuha vs Asashoryu bout and bet each other's son. Those information was disclosed in a mongolian documentary about hakuho
To live in hakuhos era is a blessing people not realize that the 45 champions record he set it nearly imposible to break a yokozuna of he’s caliber comes one in a thousand years. God bless the greatest of all time.
The man that is sumo, demon in the ring and gentle outside. A true champion and a respectable humanbeing. I hope the JSA allow him to have his stable and the old guard mellow in their attitude towards him.
Great documentary. The other side of being a successful yet foreign sumo master. Thank you for all the insights and adding the many mental hardships a Yokozuna endures…
You know me sitting here in America I never knew this kind of detail into this sport I have a whole new and much deeper respect for this guy and this sport.
What a warrior!! This proves no matter what you do you can never please Japanese people let alone the sumo federation.ultimately it’s the wrestlers are the ones making all the sacrifices in sweat and blood. Who are these people to tell them not to smile not to show happiness or celebrate. I will always love sumo but never agree with old people thinking.
There are Boxers and NFL Players looking on in envy, eat like a gibbon, train like the preverbial BEAST, and all you have to do is not even sign your name, but produce a palm print for an official autograph.😂 Every time I watch anything about Sumo, I can't help but be impressed and have the most solemn respect for what they do.❤
I was thinking about this guy. Im new to sumo and saw his clips. I was thinking today i wish i knew his name so i could watch more videos of him and this got recommended. Nice
When you see other sumo wrestlers record, even greats, they win 60% of the time, like 600 wins vs 400 loses. Hokuho was like 1100 wins vs 250 loses, it’s just insane. It would be comparable to a basketball player shooting 80% while other top players hit 50%
He was initially displaying passion for the sport and wanted to be loved by the Japanese, but disappointments constantly tore him down and he always swallowed up his feelings. Thats how he eventually built his own resolve and philosohpy of what sumo is because he has no other option left: "Do everything for the results in the ring." What forced him to this? Many just don't see what is actually behind the scenes, and dare to launch insults.
Despite the fact that they were rivals, they have huge respect for each other, and Hakuho as younger one respects "Davgaa Akh - in Mongolian, an older brother Davgaa" in the traditional Mongolian way. Their respect and friendship have much more deep roots than the Japanese people and media realize! Both guys came from very famous Mongolian wrestling (bukh) families - dynasties: Jigjid Munkhbat - Hakuho's father was a revered Mongolian Grand Champion (Darhan Avarga) (in sumo terms - Yokozuna) and Olympic silver medalist in free style wrestling in 1968, and Asashoryu's father (Dolgorsuren) is the Elephant of the Millenium (one of the most senior ranks) and is the best elephant of the last Millenium in the Mongolian bukh history, and his older brother - Sum'ya-bazar is a Mongolian grand champion, and medal earner in many international wrestling competitions including his bronze in the world championship of sambo and free style wrestling. Their father were very good friends well before both Hakuho and Asa were born!
Great video. Thanks. I understand why the fans rooted for the Japanese wrestler. I also understand why that would make Hakuho feel like an outsider, like he doesn't quite belong.
Hakuho has shown that being Yokozuna is following the way of a warrior. Hakuho did like Miyamoto Musashi told in his teachings. That's why Hakuho had 63 consecutive wins almost like Musashi's 62.
Hahaha hakuho brings me to watch sumo. The moment I see those fires in the eyes of hakuho. And this fire I mean, it out shine and it's brighter than who is at the top of the tournament. And this shows that, he really understood what is dignity hahahahaha. Dignity is not all about winning, it's also about losing, and coming back, and facing it. Dignity can be shown in different aspects. Hahahahaha having a dignity it comes not to pride alone, but to humbleness as well ❤️. Hahahahahaahahha I love this documentary
Hakuho is a great example of how to think to achieve your goals, but the burden that comes with that effort. Analyze those who came before you and excelled with respect. Take their example and give your all in an attempt to emulate their example and you may excel--after all, they stood on the shoulders of giants to become themselves, and now you have them to do the same. It's the gift of being the next generation. There is so much burden and so many awe inspiring figures before you, sure, but so much knowledge that you can use to grow. But in doing so, you have to manage how difficult the burden you place on those who look up to you will be and is that acceptable? Do they need to meet your standards for yourself just to feel that they've succeeded and should they have to? Is it too much? I can't imagine the struggle, but I respect the hell out of it. It makes me wonder if Asashoryu felt these same burdens and acted the way he did as his way of protecting himself contrasting Hakuho's methods of emulating the greats and struggling to balance the obligation. I certainly have a more complex and deepened respect for them both despite still very certainly not knowing nor understanding either of them meaningfully. Thank you for sharing this.
You can FEEL the glory in Hakuho's final roar after taking Terunofuji to the clay in that famous bout.
And yet the council is busy fucking him over
I love how he held his daughters hand while getting his knee drained. Shows good restraint in such a powerful man.
Hey @patelpresh I am also from India !!!
The greatest Yokozuna of all time. What a privilege to watch him wrestle. I don’t think his record will ever be broken.
And then they stick him under Isegahama…he’s the brand and the sport they need to recognize what they have still.
There’s a reason his Hakuho cup is successful
if futabayama is the god of sumo hakuho is the pillar of sumo
“I believe that winning is Yokozuna sumo” goes hard,Hakuho will always be one of the greatest of all time.
He’s easily up there with Jordan or Gretzky or Ruth, dominant, wild records in a wildly competitive sport.
And yet much of the world doesn’t know about him.
Hell yeah, brother!!!

Hakuho, long live the king, love from India
Thank you so much for uploading this! Hakuho retired on my birthday, and I'm really interested to learn more about the career of the greatest Yokozuna
this was an awesome documentary! Hakuho is the best there ever was. an insane display of raw human force.
Great documentary. I wish I watched more of Hakuho's matches, he was the G.O.A.T.
i have never seen or heard about Takanohana but your short introduction and the bout and how the ppl cheerd when he won his face when he won all of that really moved me. truly an inspinring clip. i got teary eyes after that
Maybe you had heard of his other name Takahanada ,
He was like the wakatakage of his day ,
As in Sumos golden boy
The GOAT of sumo, cheers
Not GOAT but foreign bull
To stand as the best for so long is hard but to do so in a high impact sport makes it the stuff of legend.
I have been in love with Sumo since I was a kid and later after going to Japan. Hakuho is my favorite!
Watching his rehab on his knee really brings it home - with combat sports in general the training and injury recovery is often the hardest part.
Wow! The Shodai fight. I love everything about this sport and amazing yokozuna
Love it!
Hakuho's career is absolutely amazing
And he's even better as human being than as a sumotori
What a beautiful documentary. Thanks, NHK. Thank you, Hakuho, i was able to glimpse a spark of your fire. Long live Magaki stable.
Wow What a n amazing story. Hakuho is like the Michael Jordan of Sumo. A very inspiring story. A truly Great Yokazuna.
There is no inconsistency.
Inside the ring he won, outside he was dignity.
Great warrior, kind heart.
after all hakuho did to pull sumo through the tough times and they still tore him down once he retired
Imagine just loving the sport wholeheartedly but being despised by almost everyone for being exceptional at it. That was immensely tough.

simply beautiful
Fantastic documentary! Thank you very much for showing us this 🙏
Asashoryu might have been that once in a generation yokozuna, but then along came hakuho. To be fair Asa did help him out a lot.
Despite the fact that they were rivals, they have huge respect for each other, and Hakuho as younger one respects "Davgaa Akh - in Mongolian, an older brother Davgaa" in the traditional Mongolian way.

@@bbatjargal1549 So true, also Hakuho and Asashoryu were already friends when they were young boys.

Great video. Thanks. I understand why the fans rooted for the Japanese wrestler. I also understand why that would make Hakuho feel like an outsider, like he doesn't quite belong.
The myth, the man, the legend! 白鵬最高!
Such a great man, such a Yokozuna, the goat
Great documentary. Thanks
The GOAT of Sumo.
A touching story. Thanks
Best Documentary ❤ on hakuho 👍
The greatest sumo wrestler 🤼.
Can't imagine sumo without the man.
Hakuho is the Secretariat of sumo; he is the best at his sport with records that will take a long time to be broken.
Хакухо - мой любимый сумоист! ❤
This was fabulous, thank you! ❤
Hakuho has shown that being Yokozuna is following the way of a warrior. Hakuho did like Miyamoto Musashi told in his teachings. That's why Hakuho had 63 consecutive wins almost like Musashi's 62.
They left him alone. He kept the sumo alive and breathed new life into it!
All the best to Hakuho
Possibly the most dominant combat athlete ever, maybe only Alexander Karelin compares?
This was fascinating from start to finish. Thank you!
Hahaha hakuho brings me to watch sumo. The moment I see those fires in the eyes of hakuho. And this fire I mean, it out shine and it's brighter than who is at the top of the tournament.

Man doing that with knee problems he’s the goat of sumo
god will bless those that protect the good and worthy in the world, during these times of reckless change
Very few could say that they stood atop any one thing and felt the same unmitigated glory as that man did. Imagine.
Hakuho is a great example of how to think to achieve your goals, but the burden that comes with that effort.
Analyze those who came before you and excelled with respect. Take their example and give your all in an attempt to emulate their example and you may excel--after all, they stood on the shoulders of giants to become themselves, and now you have them to do the same. It's the gift of being the next generation. There is so much burden and so many awe inspiring figures before you, sure, but so much knowledge that you can use to grow. But in doing so, you have to manage how difficult the burden you place on those who look up to you will be and is that acceptable? Do they need to meet your standards for yourself just to feel that they've succeeded and should they have to? Is it too much? I can't imagine the struggle, but I respect the hell out of it.
It makes me wonder if Asashoryu felt these same burdens and acted the way he did as his way of protecting himself contrasting Hakuho's methods of emulating the greats and struggling to balance the obligation. I certainly have a more complex and deepened respect for them both despite still very certainly not knowing nor understanding either of them meaningfully.
Thank you for sharing this.
