Mongolian ozeki Hakuho emerged victorious from a championship playoff win over grand champion Asashoryu to capture his second Emperor's Cup on the final day of the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament in Osaka on March 25.

Hakuho took everyone at Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium by surprise when he got hold of his countryman and yanked him down to score a blink-and-you'll-miss-it victory and snap the yokozuna's four-tournament winning streak.

"I just wanted to go aggressive and decided on the tactics on the spur of the moment," said Hakuho.

"I can't believe it. I am really happy."
