List of judoka

This is a list of highly notable judoka (judo practitioners).

A number of living judoka have been promoted to 10th dan by the Olympic Games-affiliated International Judo Federation.

Some national (country) associations, continental unions and independent (often multi-style) bodies have also promoted judoka to 10th dan.

Only fifteen people have been promoted to 10th dan by the Kōdōkan.

However, as of October 2022-end, all three of the 2006 promotion receivers are deceased.
