Japanese-language historical drama "Shogun" has smashed Emmy records by winning 18 trophies at the latest edition of TV's most coveted awards. The 76th Emmys also saw "Hacks," "The Bear," and "Baby Reindeer" shine.

"Shogun" — a period drama set in feudal Japan — reigned at the 76th Emmy Awards on Sunday, bagging an epic 18 wins in a single season.

The FX show won best drama series and also won acting awards for Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, who made history by becoming the first Japanese actors to win their categories.

Sanada called "Shogun" an "East meets West dream project" as he accepted his award at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

"'Shogun' taught me [that] when we work together, we can make miracles," the actor said.

Shogun's 18-award streak is a record at the Emmys — the highest honors in television — for a single season of a drama.
