Ryoko Tani was born on September 6, 1975. Tani is one of the world's most famous and successful judoka. She was born in Fukuoka, Fukuoka. She was an employee at Toyota Motor Corporation, but is now entering politics.
She is commonly known as Yawara chan or Tawara. Since she won the International Women's Judo Championships in 1990, Yawara chan has gone on to win the event every year. She has a record seven world titles and she brought home the 48 kg category gold medal from Sydney Olympics in 2000 and the Athens Olympics in 2004. Her 84 match winning streak was finally broken in 1996 by North Korea's Kye Sun Hui. She holds a fourth dan. In 2003, she married Yoshitomo Tani, an Olympian and professional baseball player then with the Orix Blue Wave now with the Yomiuri Giants.
In Beijing in 2008 Tani, who had not been beaten in a major international competition since the Atlanta Games in 1996, saw her hopes of a third-straight gold evaporate when judges awarded penalty points to Romania's Alina Dumitru after both competitors failed to show much aggression. Looking stunned, Tani fought desperately after the final controversial penalty call, but with only seconds left she had no time to mount an attack. Tani lost the 2007 All-Japan Weight Class Judo Championship, which doubles as the qualifier for Olympics and the World Championships on those years when the events take place, but was selected as Japan's representative anyway by the All Japan Judo Federation (AJJF). She then won the gold medal in the Rio de Janeiro World Championships. Tani lost the All Japan again in April 2008, to 21 year old Emi Yamagishi. Again, the AJJF selected Tani for Japan's team in place of Yamagishi.
