Biography


Initially a practitioner of Sōsuishi-ryū jujutsu, Shinmen joined the Kodokan judo school in 1907, training under Sanpo Toku. He became known by his fearsome tomoe nage, which he famously used to throw away the 130 kg 6th dan Shutaro Ohno as if he was a much lighter opponent. However, Shinmen was a specialist in chokeholds, and was famous his skill to get them in while standing and then complete them on the ground, especially after failing a throw. His favorite choke was okuri eri jime.
