A surprising sixteen-year old in 1992, she lost not a single bout after Barcelona, and then lost in Atlanta to the one and only competitor from North Korea. Again undefeated for four years, she finally managed her gold medal at Sydney before a crowd almost completely made up of Japanese. Her final fight lasted only 30 seconds, but that was broken by Tadahiro Nomura, who won the other final the same evening in only 12 seconds.
She is immensely popular in Japan. The most prestigious Judo tournament in the World was started just for her in her home town of Fukuoka.
