Taihō Kōki
Born in Sakhalin in 1940, Taiho was the 48th Yokozuna who set the record of 32 top-division championships. Listed alongside 'Giants and egg omelets' as children's favorites, he was the greatest Yokozuna of the Showa era. With a Ukrainian father and a background of poverty and displacement, his indomitable spirit gave hope to Japan during its era of high economic growth.
