	Akebono Brakes - Akebono Brake Pad - Buy Now
		Since reducing noise, vibration, and harshness is a huge priority for vehicle manufacturers, Akebono brakes has teamed up with the OEM manufacturers on a number of cutting-edge hardware projects and developed new Akebono brakes that seriously reduce the amount of NVH induced by calipers, rotors, and drums.
		In test after test, the Akebono brake pad had as good or better wear characteristics than the premium semi-metallic competitor, proving the Akebono brake pad was both stable in high heat situations and that it could maintain its friction characteristics mile after mile.
		The Akebono brake pad actually has an extraordinarily low dust production rate—it would be low for a stock pad, but the Akebono brake pad has truly exceptional dust generation for a high-performance friction component.

	Science Fair Projects - Akebono Taro
		Akebono entered sumo in March 1988, at the same time as Takanohana and Wakanohana who were to become his great rivals as yokozuna.
		Akebono was a long lived and strong yokozuna, lasting nearly eight years in the rank and winning the top division championship on a further eight occassions.
		Akebono was often under intense scrutiny as the first foreign born yokozuna, especially after the controversy surrounding the first foreign born Ozeki, Konishiki, who came close to Yokozuna promotion in 1992.

	Akebono [1999 Turtle 42]
		Akebono was not yet at the eruptive stage, where we can make out an unmistakable lump.
		We sighted Akebono almost daily in her preferred spot at The Cavern, and we delighted in her company.
		Akebono swam up to us and her sad state confirmed a condition far worse than even we, at our most pessimistic, could have imagined.

	Metropolis - Big in Japan: Akebono
		Akebono, born Chad Rowan, was discovered in the late eighties by a friend of Kuhaulua.
		Unfortunately, Akebono has been plagued by injuries in recent years and has not won a tournament since May 1997.
		Still, it is heartening to note that, by promoting Akebono (and, more recently, Musashimaru) to sumo's top rank, the Association has honestly recognized foreign success in a very Japanese sport.
