Do you know 柔道 [Judo]?
JUDO is Japanese martial arts.
Now,international convention is holding in Japan.
It's 嘉納治五郎 [Kano Jigoro] cup. (14th to 15th January.)
He is called 柔道の父 [Judo No Titi]. It means father of JUDO.
Because,he is founder of JUDO.
He was born 9th December and died 4th May.
And,that his invention startd 1978. 
It's Japanese sport although non Japanese players are strong now...
The firast day (14th January),there were 4 classes men's tournaments.
Japanese players got champion 2 classes.
