Pre-war Kodokan judoka known as 'Oni no Toku' (Toku of the Devilness),
the 'demon of the Kodokan' of Mochizuki's interview, 9th dan of
Kodokan judo. Famous for defeating 165 opponents in a single league as a young
man and for the public rivalry with Mifune ('Waza no Mifune / Oni no
Toku'). Expelled from the Kodokan in 1912 after defeating fifteen Brazilian
Navy sailors, pardoned and reinstated by Kano in 1917. Ran his own dojo in
Komatsugawa, Tokyo, where the young Minoru Mochizuki trained from 1924.
