Lone yokozuna Kakuryu stayed unbeaten Monday at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, cruising to victory over rank-and-file opponent Hokutofuji.
Kakuryu, seeking his sixth top-division title, improved to 2-0 by quickly pushing out the winless No. 1 maegashira in the final bout on Day 2 at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
The contest was over almost as quickly as it started, with Kakuryu driving the hapless Hokutofuji out backward right from the jump.
