Grand champion Asashoryu defeated Tochiazuma on Sunday to close out the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament with a perfect 15-0 record a day after capturing his fifth Emperor's Cup.
Fighting in the tournament's final bout at Ryogoku Kokugikan, Asashoryu spun Tochiazuma around after the face off and sent the helpless ozeki flying over the straw ridge in a matter of seconds. Tochiazuma finished with a sub-par 9-6 record.
Asashoryu defeated Chiyotaikai on Saturday to wrap up the title.
