Kanou Jigorou

Jigoro Kano was born during the transition from the end of the Tokugawa shogunate to the Meiji era. Despite his excellent grades, Jigoro, who was physically weak, decided to train himself through martial arts. Jigoro, who studied jujutsu, an ancient Japanese martial art, eventually reborn it as a new martial art, "judo." In this way, the judo created by Jigoro would eventually spread across the sea.
Jigoro Kano is the father of judo, which has now become a global sport, and on the other hand, as an educator, he made physical education take root in Meiji Japan. Recognized for his achievements, Jigoro became Japan's first member of the International Olympic Committee and worked hard to win the Olympics.
