Taihō Kōki
Taihō Kōki (大鵬幸喜, born Kōki Naya, Ukrainian: Іва́н Бори́шко ''Ivan Boryshko''; May 29, 1940 – January 19, 2013) was the 48th yokozuna in the Japanese sport of sumo wrestling. He became a ''yokozuna'' in 1961 at the age of 21, the youngest ever at the time. He won 32 tournament championships between 1960 and 1971, a record that was unequalled until 2014. His dominance was such that he won six tournaments in a row on two separate occasions. He is the only wrestler to win at least one championship every year of his top division career, and he won 45 consecutive matches between 1968 and 1969, which at the time the best winning streak since Futabayama in the 1930s. After retiring from active competition he became a sumo coach, although health problems meant he had limited success. When he died in January 2013 he was widely cited as the greatest sumo wrestler of the post-war period. Since then Hakuhō, who regarded Taihō as a mentor, surpassed his record by winning his 33rd championship in January 2015.
==Early career==
Kōki was born on the island of Sakhalin (Karafuto Prefecture) to a Japanese mother Kiyo Naya〔(Official website of Taiho )〕 and an ethnic Ukrainian father Markiyan Boryshko〔 who had fled the Bolshevik Revolution.〔 〕〔 However, he is regarded as having come from Teshikaga, Hokkaidō, where he moved to as a child after the Soviet Union took control of Sakhalin in 1945. While on a sumo tour to the Soviet Union in 1965 he tried to locate his father, but without success. Taihō was the first of three great ''yokozuna'' who all hailed from Hokkaidō, the most northerly of the main islands of Japan, and who among them dominated sumo during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The others were Kitanoumi and Chiyonofuji.
He entered sumo in September 1956, joining Nishonoseki stable. He initially fought under his own surname of Naya. Upon promotion to the second ''jūryō'' division in May 1959 he was given the ''shikona'' (wrestler name) of "Taihō", meaning "Great peng" ("peng" is often translated to "phoenix"). Taihō rapidly rose through the ranks after his debut in the top ''makuuchi'' division in January 1960. He was a runner-up in his first top division tournament and was awarded the Fighting Spirit prize. At ''sekiwake'' rank in November 1960 he won the first of his record 32 tournament championships and earned promotion to ''ōzeki.'' Following two consecutive tournament victories (his second and third) he became a ''yokozuna'' in September 1961, less than two years after his top division debut.
