Uniforms, etc. They are the official supplier of the Danish sports brand hummel. I looked into the origin of the name Gekiryu. There were two possibilities. One is Masahiko Kimura The strongest Judoka in history, a great man that Kawajiri is proud of. Known as "Kimura the Demon," he was praised as "There was no Kimura before Kimura, and no Kimura after Kimura," and was called the strongest Judoka in history. He grew up in his hometown of Kawajiri, helping his father with gravel removal in the rapid current of the Kase River, which strengthened his legs and lower back. He began attending a Jujutsu dojo at the age of ten, and then became famous nationwide for his overwhelming strength. In addition to the amazing record of holding the All Japan Championship for 13 consecutive years, the amount of his training was astonishing, and "3 times the effort" is a famous saying of Masahiko Kimura. Masahiko Kimura, with his overwhelming strength and as a demon of training, has many legends. I thought that the name Gekiryu might be derived from this. Another one "Gekiryu" by Shigeaki Takemura is an autobiographical record of three brothers from Kyushu, Fukuoka, who lived in Manchuria (Northeast China), were fascinated by the charm of Judo, and devoted their lives to the revival of Japanese Judo and its advancement to the world. The three brothers are Shigetaka, Shigenari, and Shigeaki Takemura, who have the "Father of Kyushu Judo." It is also the history of Japanese Judo, as it is the path of the three brothers who built the "All Japan Judo Federation," a nationwide unified organization, on the occasion of the Fukuoka National Sports Festival, which was divided into Kodokan (Tokyo) and Butokukai (Kyoto) systems. It may be a Judo uniform named after the book "Gekiryu" by the three brothers, who dreamed not only of winning but also of nurturing.
