Kōsei Inoue
Kosei Inoue (井上 康生, Inoue Kōsei; born 15 May 1978) is a Japanese judoka. He won the gold medal in the under 100 kg class at the 2000 Summer Olympics. He is well known for his specialty throws, Uchi Mata (内股, inner thigh throw) and Ōuchi gari (大内刈, major inner reap).
He is considered by the Judo community as one of the best competitive judoka.[citation needed] His notable accomplishments include three golds at the World Championships and All Japan Championships (one of four Judokas who have accomplished this).
His older brother, Tomokazu Inoue is also judoka and former Asian champion.
He is affiliated with Sohgo Security Services (Alsok), a security firm.
Kosei Inoue won the gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in the -100 kg division, most notably doing so by winning every single match by ippon. At the victory ceremony, he carried a photograph of his recently deceased mother onto the podium.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Kosei Inoue was chosen as the captain of the Japanese team. He was highly favored to win another gold in the u100 kg division. However, he suffered a major upset and did not place. Elco van der Geest of the Netherlands (2002 European Champion) defeated Inoue at the last minute with a drop seoi nage (shoulder throw) in the quarter final. Movlud Miraliyev of Azerbaijan countered Inoue's o-uchi gari with a ura nage to win the match during Repechage Round 3.
In 2005 he won the gold at the Jigoro Kano Cup, which is an A level contest with many former world and Olympic medalists.
He did not compete until 2007 because of a shoulder injury in 2005 and returned at +100 kg
