Jigoro Kano

To the left is Jigorō Kanō, a Japanese educator, athlete and the founder of Judo. It was the first Japanese martial art to gain widespread international recognition, and the first to become an official Olympic sport. Nowadays, Judo is the most widely practiced sport after track and field in The Olympic Games. Pedagogical innovations attributed to Kanō include the use of black and white belts, and the introduction of dan ranking to show the relative ranking among members of a martial art style. Well-known mottoes attributed to Kanō include "Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort" (Sei-ryoku Zen-you ) and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit"

(Ji-ta Kyou-ei).
