  • The 24-year-old Takerufuji from Aomori Prefecture achieved an impressive record of 13-2 at Edion Arena Osaka, securing the title in the elite makuuchi division for the first time since 1914.

  • He clinched his inaugural Emperor's Cup faster than any other competitor since the six annual grand tournaments calendar was adopted in 1958, following his official debut in September 2022.

  • His triumph was accentuated by the challenge of competing with a severe ankle injury sustained during his defeat to Maegashira Asanoyama on Saturday, preventing him from sealing the title a day early.

  • In recognition of his outstanding performance, Takerufuji received an Outstanding Performance Award, a Technique Prize, and a Fighting Spirit Prize. His path to victory included defeating multiple opponents from the three prestigious 'sanyaku' ranks below Yokozuna, including new Ozeki Kotonowaka and Sekiwake Wakamotoharu.

Quick Glance: Japanese PM Offers to Meet Kim Jong Un, Conditions Pose Challenges
  • North Korea states that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida proposed a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un 'as soon as possible,' contingent on Tokyo's stance towards North Korea's weapons program and past abductions of Japanese nationals.

  • Kishida emphasizes the importance of a meeting with Kim to address the abduction issue, but North Korea's preconditions make a Kim-Kishida summit unlikely.

  • Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's sister, highlights the need for Japan to make political decisions aligned with its overall interests to enhance bilateral relations and regional peace.

  • Experts suggest that a potential meeting could benefit both North Korea and Japan, with North Korea aiming to strengthen its position and Japan considering potential economic assistance if ties normalize.
