Goeido became the first kadoban ozeki in sumo history to win the Emperor's Cup with a perfect record after outclassing Kotoshogiku on the final day of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Sept. 25.

Goeido, 30, came into the fall tourney with his rank on the line, needing a winning record to maintain his ozeki status at Ryogoku Kokugikan.

He ended the tournament with a 15-0 record — the first wrestler since Musashimaru in 1994 to claim a maiden title with a clean sweep. (Kyodo)
