•     Yoshihiro Akiyama - The warrior status


    • Yoshihiro was born on July 29, 1975 in Japanese Osaka. The judo career of this judoka was aimed mostly at the Asian continent.

      He finished 2-nd at the All-Japan Collegiate Separate Weight Divisions in 1996, but later on he gain more fame with the fabulous winning streak at these important tournaments – 2001 - All-Japan Industry Judo Singles, 2001 - Kodokan Cup Japan Judo Championship, 2002 - Japan International Judo Tournament, 2002 - Paris International Judo Tournament, 2002 - Asian Games Busan, 2003 - All-Japan Invitational Judo Championship. The controversy at the 2003 World Judo Championships stopped this remarkable streak.

      Later on, in 2004 Yoshihiro entered the gates of MMA fighting and he is keeping his win/loss statistics at great level.Yoshihiro is one of the few mixed martial arts warriors fighting with the judogi, which could give him some disadvantage – but Mr. Showtime can handle it with a glamour.
