The Fonder of Judo

The early history of judo is inseparable from its founder, Japanese polymath and educator Jigoro Kano (Kanō Jigorō, 1860–1938), born Shinnosuke Kano. Kano was born into a relatively affluent family. His father, Jirosaku, was the second son of the head priest of the Shinto Hiyoshi shrine in Shiga Prefecture. He married Sadako Kano, daughter of the owner of Kiku-Masamune sake brewing company and was adopted by the family, changing his name to Kano, and ultimately became an official in the Bakufugovernment

Jigoro Kano had an academic upbringing and, from the age of seven, he studied English, Japanese calligraphy (shodō) and the Four Confucian Texts (Shisho) under a number of tutors. When he was fourteen, Kano began boarding at an English-medium school, Ikuei-Gijuku in Shiba, Tokyo. The culture of bullying endemic at this school was the catalyst that caused Kano to seek out a Jujutsu (Jūjutsu)dojo (dōjō, training place) at which to train.
