Still can't believe he died, such a great loss to the World of Judo. I remember when I first saw his highlights, I could not believe my eyes, his Judo was out of this World, I guess it was his time to return to heaven, Rest in Peace, Legend. 😭😭😭

So sad. Such a trail blazer. And then over-looked by his own national judo federation when his competition career ended. They had the opportunity to learn so much. It seems the new wind has blown past. Hopefully someone, somewhere, will re-examine his lessons and take them on board. Meanwhile for mortals like me- what a fighter! Wow! From another planet!!! May his family have all our love- More people saw him than you think :) Fight smart. The fight never ends....... :)

WHAT DID HAPPEN WITH HIM?
Great Judo-ka, Koga Toshihiko died of cancer on March 24/ 2021 at the age of 53. I can’t believe such a strong athlete passed away so young. Please rest in peace. I’ll never forget your inspirational fighting spirit! Thanks a lot for giving us lots of energy and encouragement.
RIP samurai

I share the last name with this great man and RARELY do I ever meet another 'Koga'. I did not know about him until after his death but I am very proud of what he did for the sport and our family name 🙏
世界中の方が悲しんでる。あなたは日本の誇りでした。あなたに憧れた人々がきっとあなたの柔道を受け継いでいくでしょう。 合掌。
So shocked 😮 this morning 😢😢😢 R.I.P. king 👑🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋
Great athlete. One of the biggest names in judo of all time. RIP Koga San.
Gutted. Loved the fact, even though they knew the seoi nage was coming, they could do nothing to stop it. Genius. RIP to a Judo legend. 🥋😔

And not a drop seo nage from standing. You're going for ippon, you know it's coming and there's nothing you can do but watch the refs arm go up.

my right roundhouse is like that. I was surprised to see the same in throws.
Ich bin erschüttert und traurig... das Idol meiner Jugend... einer der größten Judoka aller Zeiten 😥😥😥
King judo,best technics, heros, legend, than you Master for inspiration. Your son and all Japan can be proud of you. Oss..
Legend never died
Very saddened by this, one of the greatest Judo competitors ever, tremendous Seoinage threw the very best opponents in the blink of an eye. 53 is too young - such a great champion! I told my students for decades: "Koga is the one to watch in competition, you will always learn something new!" He went on to become a great national coach for Japan as well. We judoka have just lost one of our very best.

My coach in the mid 80s said something similar there were 2 to watch to learn from Yamashita and koga. I still don't think I've ever seen better.
A worthy tribute. Good job Grappler Kingdom. RIP Toshihiko Koga Sensei.
It was just a month ago I was watching this footage as inspiration for my own Judo. Rest In Peace Koga
Legend
Seoi-Nage Master ! Always tried to do this technique with him in mind. R.I.P. 💐
Não acredito que Koga Sensei faleceu! Hoje não só um homem se foi, mas uma parte da essência do judô. Minha inspiração juntamente com Yamashita Sensei...minha nossa que lástima... sem dúvidas minha maior inspiração técnica no judô! Só tenho a agradecer por ter nos agraciado com seu talento...que descanse em paz, você é "imortal"...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😔😔😔😔😔

The most beautiful seoi nage in the world
Never practised Judo but love watching it.....came across Koga videos, especially when he was teaching. Inspirational man, great loss to Judo and the world.
Rest um peace Sensei. Thanks for all you done. OSS..!🥋
che grande judoka, troppo presto è venuto mancare. Avrebbe dato ancora tanto.. rimarrà nella storia del Judo. Riposi nel Signore
RIP Koga. For me, the best judoka ever.
Still I can't believe koga is no more 😣😣 😭😭😭
I remember when my sensei taught me the Koga Seoi Nage... I cannot believe he's dead... RIP Koga... Such a huge loss...
I've only known Sensei Koga through his instructional videos CDs I bought in the early 2000's but his passion and teachings inspired me to do my best in Judo. I am really devastated. Rest in peace sensei Koga.

As a kid in the pre-internet world, I taped the highlights of the 1989 World Championships and must have watched Koga's performance in slo-mo thousands and thousands of times. Still not seen anything that comes close.

@@samil5601 so true! His will and techniques are absolutely impeccable. I was able to adapt and apply his leg insertion with my o-goshi and ippon seionage, very effective, I got a couple of ippon scores when I was still competing in college. I watch hi s videos the night before my tournaments to get pumped up and review the movements. :)
Poxa, meu ídolo morreu muito jovem, que tristeza! todo respeito ao mestre Toshihiko Koga. Desejo que seu legado prospere e torne o mundo melhor.
A real legend. It will never be forgotten. Perfect blow. God bless you.
I learn lot of things from his videos techniques, his is my role model.. Love him a lot my dream is one day I will meet him but sir😭😭😭😭😭
My all-time favourite judo player to watch... R.I.P., we will never forget your ippon seoi nage, an inspiration for us all!
Rest in peace! what a legend. I'll never forget your insane Ippon-Soinagi montage!!!!!
Koga fought a world championship with one one foot. He was carried to the combats that time and won on Newaza vs everyone. He also fought many times in the free weight getting everytime 2nd just beaten by the heavyweight from Japan. In my opinion the best of all times.
rest in peace koga, great athlete, inspired us a lot and will always inspire us. 😢
Звезда Дзюдо, земля пусть будет ему пухом 🙏🏻
lá se foi mais um herói ! serei eterno fã dele !
I grow up with his videos,for me the best Judo competitor ever on this world.. RIP POCIVAJ U MIRU
amazing man
Je suis très triste. Repose en paix Koga.
RIP Koga. I still remembe Koga Tomoe Nage, taught by my Ju-Jutsu teacher, even though I've stopped practicing long time ago. It was such a simplicity, resulting in greatness, just like the man himself.
rest in peace great legend of judo. you were for most of us a inspiration
that guy was pure poetry. can`t exist a better judo.
RIP Koga Truly my favorite Judoka ever.
One of my biggest heroes in Judo. RIP Koga. What a Legend.
Talentueux et innovateur hors pair, Toshihiko Koga pratiquait un judo tellement fluide, spectaculaire et éblouissant qu'il demeure, à ce stade, la plus belle légende de ce sport.
He gave Judo another touch of magical inspiration. RiP
Rest in Peace Koga
Rest în piece 💪🥋
Peace. Saw something awhile back on NHK bout the brotha. Taught me to be fearless and believe in myself.💯
Настоящая звезда дзю-до Кога ,спи спокойно мы любим тебя

Oh so sad, I just saw this....a huge idol of mine as a young judoka. Simply the best ever in my book.
Rip - greatest seoi of all time 🙇🏻♂️
One of the best ever 😥😥 R.I.P.
The greatest. Rest in peace Toshihiko.
Greatest of all time
beautiful
was watching some judo vids on nick yonezuka's channel and saw this guy, I'm not a judoka but I wish to begin... even I can see this guy was special. R.I.P
Respect 🙏🏾
ossuu 🙏
Probably the rarest talent judo has ever seen in its history. Unbelievable bloke really.
Leyend. The king of Ippon Seoi Nage. Rest In Peace.
Una leyenda del Judo, de técnica espectacular...adiós sensei...🥋🇨🇱🇯🇵
Rest in peace Legend.
Saw him on a magazine cover (doing a seoi nage, off course) at a local bookstore (what a coincidence) back in Sep '96... got inspired and determined to win the national championship under 78Kg to qualify to the Jigoro Kano Cup tournament later in Oct-Nov 1996... and thank to God I did! Saw him at the tournament venue wearing a jeans and a T (he wasn't not playing) and got truly bigger than the Atlanta shape... He'll be missed
Descansa en paz..el mejor yudoka de todos los tiempos..
Obrigado Koga.
RIP Legend
RIP! 😞💔🙏🏽❤️🥋👑🏆🥇
descanse em paz Koga Sensei...
Rest in Peace 🙏 Koga Sensei
Legend🥋🔥
Vá em paz koga. Eu adorava ver suas projeções. Eu mostrava pra todos meus amigos seus ippons. Como vc fazia parecer fácil. Vc mostrou ao mundo o melhor e mais bonito judô. Obrigado por me fazer gostar de judô.
Борец от Бога!🙏🙏🙏
