Sad news indeed, super-legend Taiho, the grandest grand champion (Yokozuna) of sumo has passed away on January 19, 2013 at the age of 72.
Taiho won a record 32 tournaments in the 1960s - a record that still stands today.
He stood tall in an era of sumo untainted by scandal and proved his championship mettle again and again with his style and class.

You can also see a video below showing some of his battles. That second one was awesome - he looked like he was toast a few times only to pull one out of nowhere for the win!
