DESCRIPTION

Article text [translation]: "Supervisor, 6th-grade in Judo, born in Akita, 33 years old. The golden age which the Meiji University Judo Club experienced before was obtained with his power. Can it be said it is an odd chance of fortune that this time he is the coach of the same Judo club which is commemorating the outstanding records of their championship in the all-Japan high school competition with an overseas tour? Last year he was recommended by this team to compete in Japan's national upper level competition. In the Tokyo region's preliminary contest of the 2nd ward, he won the victory from a crowd of powerful players and received a title in Tokyo, and also in the 2nd ward (Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa). After competing day after day, he took him on for the final battle of the upper level and, after a fight full of sparks, he took "a half point" but gave the victory to his opponent and drank a thousand laments. He hadn't had a match in America, but it would be a great opportunity this time, under good conditions."
