Prime Takamasa Anai was a phenomenal technician

Takamasa Anai is a Japanese male judoka who competed in the -100 kg and open weight (only domestically) categories. He is a 1-time world and Asian champion and a 1-time world bronze medalist. He is also a 2-time national open weight champion and a 5-time champion in the -100 kg weight category. Takamasa Anai was a master of Ashi Waza techniques such as Uchi Mata, O Soto Gari, Ashi Guruma, and De Ashi Harai. He also had solid Seoi Nage and Sode Tsurikomi Goshi. His style was similar to Kosei Inoue's tough Anai was less consistent on the international Judo stage and didn't reach the same status. Currently he is one of the coaches at Tenri University, which has produced some of the best judokas of all time (Shinohara, Nomura, Ono). Video credits: IJF, AJJF, Koji Kuninaga, MastersMagazine.
