Rena Kanokogi
Rena Kanokogi (''née'' Glickman; July 30, 1935 – November 21, 2009) was a renowned Jewish-American judo expert. In 1959, disguised as a man, she won a medal at a YMCA judo tournament, but had to return it after acknowledging that she was a woman. Traveling to Japan to continue her judo training, Kanokogi became the first woman allowed to train in the men's group at the Kodokan. She is perhaps best known for pioneering women's judo competition at the Olympic Games.

(''c.'' 2004): (Rena Kanokogi, mother of women's judo ) Retrieved on November 24, 2009.〕 In her adolescence, she led a street gang known as the Apaches.〔〔 Her mother sold hot dogs for a living.〔Smith, G.

(1965): "Colorful wedding at New York's Buddhist Academy: Two black belts are joined in Shinto ceremony."

''Black Belt'', 3(10):56〕 Kanokogi and her first husband divorced after a short period of marriage.〔 She was working as a switchboard operator at this time.〔
In 1955, a male friend showed Kanokogi a judo technique that he had learned, and she immediately became interested in the martial art.〔〔 Kanokogi recalled that she was attracted to the art because it calmed her down and helped her develop self-control.〔 She learned judo in her local neighborhood and tried to fight in judo competitions, but was barred because she was a woman.〔 She acquired the nickname "Rusty" after a local dog.〔
