Judo career

[edit]

Funakubo started Judo at the age of 6.[1][2] In April 2011, she went on to Fujigakuen Junior High School where she was under the instruction of Yuta Yazaki and his wife Noriko Yazaki. Yuta is a former Asian Games champion as well as a Newaza specialist. Noriko is a former national champion. They both participated at the 2003 World Judo Championships.[2][3][4][5] In August 2013, she won all bouts for Ippon at the National Junior High School Championships.[1][2]

In April 2014, she went on to Fujigakuen High School.[1][2] She won the Inter-High School Championships and the All-Japan Junior Championships 2 times in a row respectively in 2015, 2016.[2] In October 2015, she won the World Judo Championships Juniors both individual (–57 kg weight class) and team event. She won 5 out of 8 bouts with Funakubo-Gatame for Ippon.[2][4][6][7][8][9]

In 2017, she became a member of the Judo club at the Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Group.[5] In February 2017, she won all bouts with Funakubo-Gatame for Ippon at the European Open Sofia.[10][11]

In April 2017, she became vice champion at the All-Japan weight championships.[1] In October 2017, she retained the world junior title as well as the team title.[12][13][14]

Funakubo-Gatame

[edit]

Funakuo's favorite technique is Newaza, especially Osaekomi-waza called Funakubo-Gatame.[2][4][5] Funakubo-Gatame is considered a modified Hara-Zutsumi (stomach wrap grabbing) technique. Hara-Zutsumi originates from Nanatei Judo[10] This is officially classified as Kuzure-Kesa-Gatame or Kata-Gatame.[2][4][5] When she was in the second grade at junior high school, she couldn't practice Judo because of a knee injury. Thus she was doing 1000 Pull‐ups every day for a month.[5] After the recovery, she invented Funakubo-Gatame to turn over an opponent in a prone position.[2][4][5]

Some in the media say Funakubo looks like the actress Rena Nōnen.[3][4][5]
