“I believe that winning is Yokozuna sumo” goes hard,Hakuho will always be one of the greatest of all time.

You can FEEL the glory in Hakuho's final roar after taking Terunofuji to the clay in that famous bout.

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! ❤

The greatest Yokozuna of all time. What a privilege to watch him wrestle. I don’t think his record will ever be broken.

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.

I love how he held his daughters hand while getting his knee drained. Shows good restraint in such a powerful man.

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.

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.

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

Hakuho, long live the king, love from India

The GOAT of sumo, cheers

Great documentary. I wish I watched more of Hakuho's matches, he was the G.O.A.T.

Wow! The Shodai fight. I love everything about this sport and amazing yokozuna

this was an awesome documentary! Hakuho is the best there ever was. an insane display of raw human force.

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.

I have been in love with Sumo since I was a kid and later after going to Japan. Hakuho is my favorite!

Thank you for this. I’m crying.

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.

Best Documentary ❤ on hakuho 👍

This is fascinating, thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for uploading this.

The greatest sumo wrestler 🤼. Can't imagine sumo without the man.

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.

This was fascinating from start to finish. Thank you!

The Greatest Yokozuna all of time

The Muhammed Ali of Sumo. A Legend.

Most are saying that being an Ozeki is lonely😢. But more are saying that being a Yokozuna is lonelier 😢.

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.

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

He doesn’t have to worry, he is loved by the Japanese people. Just listen to the “Arigato” at his retirement ceremony, it says it all!!

Hakuho is a real legend

simply beautiful

A touching story. Thanks

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 me wonders is...how quick those referees react sometimes.i mean,they are most of the times a "little"older.but for their age,those guys moving quick.

crazy underrated video

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.

The myth, the man, the legend! 白鵬最高!

A great Yokozuna

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.

On the Hakuo-Kisenosato rematch controversy. why would Hakuo criticize the referee/gyoji who had awarded him the match. The ones he would have been criticizing were the 5 judges/shimpan on the floor, and the judges in the replay booth. For the record, the judges who are also sumo elders have held foreigners to higher standards than native Japanese rikishi. Recently, those sumo elders stripped Hakuo/Miyogino of control of his stable after a bullying incident, even though other stables had incidents of bullying and there weren't the nearly the same level of punishment.

Remarkable, endurance reign with true love of Sumo wrestling.❤

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.

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.

Legend.

Hakuho fkng best!

All the best to Hakuho

Legend

He sealed Sumo. G O A T

Very few could say that they stood atop any one thing and felt the same unmitigated glory as that man did. Imagine.

He is so obsessively competitive that he can’t just love sumo, he loves sumo “more than anyone”.

The G.O.A.T of sumo

He is Sumo's greatest fan!

I think Hakuho is slowly preparing his way back home since he is respected by JSA. Will see.

Well well well....

GOAT

Hakuho , Terus knees,pelean por orgullo

This was such a great documentary, it's true Hakuho is a great who will not be surpassed but some use of dubious tactics as his body declines. I still don't really get whether the Japanese love him or loathe him, probably a bit of both. He has what we call white line fever in the west, very nice man when not competing but look out when he was! I particularly enjoyed all the old footage and the history lesson on sumo as well.

JSA did him dirty….. HE HAKUHO literally save sumo and they closed his stable…..

Make the other documentary of Hakuho the 2 0 years of glory Hakuho sho that one

Hakusho probably needs a total knee replacement not just laproscopic surgery. They basically just cleaned out all the bone chips and inflamed tissue. He needs a new joint to recover.

please upload this video. tbs hakuho documentary.

Its funny that Japan’s national sport is Sumo yet a Mongolian is the greatest ever to do it and most of the Yokozonas are Mongol aswell

the white fhoenix

Why is it illegal for stable asters and rikishis to gamble on baseball games?

they call him the bad boy of sumo

Greatest Yokozuna ever
