Futabayama Sadaji
Born in Usa, Oita Prefecture in 1912, Futabayama was the 35th Yokozuna who holds sumo's unbreakable record of 69 consecutive victories. His words 'I am not yet a mokugyou (wooden rooster)' after his streak ended symbolize a seeker's philosophy, giving sumo spiritual depth beyond mere strength. He embodies the ideal of sumo's way - the greatest rikishi in history.
