Kisenosato looks to end 10-year Japanese title drought

Kisenosato looks to end 10-year Japanese title drought

Undated combined photo shows Mongollian yokozuna Kakuryu (L) and Japanese ozeki Kisenosato, who are among the top wrestlers bidding to win the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament beginning Jan. 10, 2016. It has been 10 years since a Japanese-born wrestler last won a grand sumo tournament, and much of that decade has been riddled with near misses for Kisenosato, who was once touted as the sport's next homegrown hope.
