A compelling article by American judo legend Hayward Nishioka, with regard to belt ranks. Although specifically about judo, it is of historical note that the kyu/dan (colored belt/black belt) system and karategi (karate uniform) employed by karate practitioners today, were developed by judo founder Jigoro Kano. Although mostly known for his contributions to judo, in the 1960s Nishioka also earned a shodan in Shotokan karate under Tsutomu Ohshima.
