Masahiko Kimura
Born in Kumamoto Prefecture in 1917, Masahiko Kimura is considered the strongest judoka in history - 'there was no Kimura before Kimura, and none after.' He won the All-Japan Championship thirteen consecutive years, dominated the Emperor's Cup, and after turning to professional wrestling, defeated Helio Gracie with an armlock that now bears his name worldwide as the 'Kimura Lock.'
