# Sport in Japan

Sumo was a popular sport in Japan's Heian period.
**Sports in Japan** are a part of Japanese culture. Japan has many traditional sports such as sumo, judo, karate, and kendo. Also, there are sports which were imported from the West such as baseball, soccer, golf and skiing. Sports are popular with both participants and onlookers.

## History

Some traditional sports like *yabusame* have ancient histories.

In the Meiji period, sports which were imported from the West became popular.

* Baseball was first played at Waseda University in Tokyo in 1890.
* Golf was imported from England; and the first golf course was created in Kobe in 1903.
* Gymnastics was encouraged in schools as early as 1872.

A rugby game in Yokohama, 1874
* Rugby teams were created at Keiō University in Tokyo in 1899.
* Soccer was first played in 1878.
* Swimming competition was first held at the Yokohama Amateur Rowing Club in 1898.
* Tennis became popular in 1878.
* Track and field competition began in 1883 at the University of Tokyo.
* Volleyball was imported from the US in 1914.
* Weightlifting was made popular by Jigoro Kano in 1922.

Another popular spectator sport is professional wrestling, locally known as *puroresu* (プロレス). While the sport was known in Japan before World War II, it did not become widely popular until the rise of Rikidōzan, considered the "father" of puroresu, in the 1950s. While similar to professional wrestling in the rest of the world in that winners are decided before the match, puroresu has become a unique style. Most match storylines play up the wrestlers' "fighting spirit". Also, because many Japanese wrestlers have martial arts backgrounds, most strikes during matches make full contact. Puroresu also enjoys close ties to mixed martial arts, with some companies often holding wrestling matches and MMA fights in the same event; because of this, both wrestlers and fans treat puroresu as a combat sport.

At first, Western sports were valued as a form of mental discipline, but they have become recreational activities.

Notable athletes, sports clubs, sports schools and training clinics played an important part in spreading sports in Japan.

In Japan, sports groups are an important part of school life. The time spent in these groups allows students to adjust to Japan's vertical society. For example, in sports, players learn to use *keigo* (formal, polite speech), respect and traditions.

### Olympic games

The 1940 Summer Olympics and the 1940 Winter Olympics were planned for Japan, but the organizers withdrew in 1938 because of the Second Sino-Japanese War. These games were later cancelled because of World War II.

Japan did host the Olympic games four times.

# Japan Football Association

The **Japan Football Association** or **Japan FA** (日本サッカー協会, *Nihon Sakkā Kyōkai*) is the governing body responsible for the administration of football in Japan. It is responsible for the national team, as well as club competitions.

## History

The organisation was founded in 1921 as the Greater Japan Football Association (大日本蹴球協会, *Dai-Nippon Shūkyū Kyōkai*), and became affiliated with FIFA in 1921. In 1945, the name of the organisation was changed to the Japan Football Association (日本蹴球協会, *Nihon Shūkyū Kyōkai*); its Japanese name was changed to the current title in 1975. This reflected common use of the word *sakkā* (サッカー), derived from "soccer", rather than the older Japanese word *shūkyū* (蹴球; literally "kick-ball"). The word *sakkā* gained popularity during the post-World War II occupation of Japan by the Allied powers. The association generally translates its name to "Japan Football Association" in English, though "Japan Soccer Association" is also used.

## Symbol

This is one of the designs of Yatagarasu.
The symbol of the JFA is the Yatagarasu, a mythical three-legged raven that guided Emperor Jimmu to Mount Kumano. Yatagarasu is also the messenger of the supreme Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu.

# Free content

**Free content**, or **free information**, is any kind of work, artwork, or other creative content which does not have lots of legal restrictions about how people can use it. People have freedom to make changed versions of the content, give changed and not changed versions of the content to others, and sell copies of the content and changed versions of it. The author of free content does not use all of his copyright monopoly, he gives many of the rights to others. The articles in Wikipedia are free content.

Free software is different from free music or text, because it is often much more difficult to understand and change a program if one does not have its source code, than it is to change a song or a text. Because of that, the source code of free software must always be easy to receive, or the software will not be free. However, source code for pictures, movies and music can also exist and be given to others. Choosing what to call a “source code” is sometimes important when publishing a work under a copyleft license.
# Sloth

| Sloths |

| Brown-throated three-toed sloth (*Bradypus variegatus*). |
| Scientific classification |
| Kingdom: | Animalia |
| Phylum: | Chordata |
| Class: | Mammalia |
| Superorder: | Xenarthra |
| Order: | Pilosa |
| Suborder: | **Folivora** |

**Sloths** are Xenarthran mammals from Central and South America. They are part of the order Pilosa. There are two families of sloths: two-toed sloth and three-toed sloth. Most scientists call these two families the **Folivora**, while some call them the **Phyllophaga**. They live in trees, but in the past there were giant ground sloths.

The biogeographic origins of the Pilosa is still unclear, but they can be traced back in South America as far as the early Tertiary, about 60 million years ago. The presence of these animals in Central America is explained by the Great American Interchange.

## Physical description

Sloths are active at night, and sleep curled up with their head placed between the arms and the feet drawn close together, or hanging upside down with the help of their hook- like claws. This disguises them as part of a tree so that its enemies like the jaguar do not see them. Sloths rarely climb down from the trees, and when they are on the ground, they can only crawl awkwardly. However, when there is a forest flood, they are very good swimmers.

Sloths can also slow their heart rate and hold their breath for long periods. They are able to stay underwater for up to 40 minutes, which is longer than many marine mammals such as dolphins.

Sloths can live for up to 30 years. They mostly just eat leaves and flowers, which take a very long time to digest. Sloths move slowly; their name comes from the word "slow".
