Olympics - Team Japan

Background

Japan first competed at the 1912 Olympic Games, its delegation and Olympic Committee led by Dr. Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo. Japan has since failed to compete only at the Games of 1948 (as an aggressor nation in World War II, it was not invited), and 1980 (when it chose to boycott the Moscow Olympics).

Japan was the dominant country in men’s gymnastics from 1956 until the mid-1980s. In addition, at times, it has been the top country in swimming and one of the top in wrestling and weightlifting.^[1]

This is an ongoing project to ensure that all Olympians who represented Japan are on Wikitree.

• Connected to their family
• Connected to the Global Tree, if possible
• With profiles that have biographical, family, and sporting information
• Well sourced
