R. I. P Sensei, thanks for making our world better, lots of energy for his family 🙏

RIP My hero, our hero. everyone wanted to play Judo like you.

The best fighter in the history of Judo. No question at all. No one comes close.

Mi father brought koga's vhs when i was a child and he told me: "came, look this video whith me. This judoka is amazing". That change the way that i practice judo for all my live, still today.

A true legend. He was definitely my judo hero when i was a kid. Before trainings i used to watched with my friends the video lessons of Koga, to inspire us. Now I'm 31 and still training judo, and still a fan of Koga. Thank you for inspiring me. R.I.P.

I never had the opportunity to see Koga Sensei acting as athlete prior to the KZbin ascension, yet he became a Judo legend for me because all Judo Senseis I learned from admire him by the time he was one. R.I.P. Sensei!

We will never forget you. R.I.P.

One of my teenage judo idols. Always loved watching his dvd's. One of the greatest of all time. Thank you for your inspiration, Koga. RIP

Truly Japan’s finest judo fighter!!! My personal favorite judo fighter.

Best of judo

Thank you for everything! I could never do it. Fighting much much bigger men. Koga represented the essence of Judo all in his 71 kg body. R.I.P.

The memory of this incredible judo hero will never fade away. Thank you! Rest in peace!

True Judo spirit. Inspirational.

When I saw "Koga the best" on KZbin, my appreciation for judo had grown more. Judo is a world, Judo is a big family. My life is judo now. I want to give consolation to the Koga family. A great master has left this world.

No I was just talking about him yesterday. He was my idol when i was training as a young kid in Greece. A true sport legend

Thanks for everything Sensei.

My favourite Judoka of all time.I learned so much from watching you,I am so grateful for your wisdom.Thankyou and God bless you and your family 🥋🙏🏼❤️

He was a symbol of Judo, soft and fair goes far .... We will never forget you!

Koga was a judo hero we will never forget, not only for his fabulous technique but also sportsmanship and attitude. Rest in peace.

Rest in peace to a great legend in judo history ❤

I will never get bored of watching Koga's techniques. Such an amazing JUDOKA. R.I.P.

I am a novice judo player who has come to the sport late in my life but I can clearly see the spirit of the sport lived in this man.

You are the best forever. The best judoka of all times. RIP, Sensei. My condolences to the family of this great man. Thanks for all inspiration you gave me in all my judo life.

This is very moving. I'm new to judo and I'm going to study this great fighter closely. He was obviously a great man.

Thank you kuga for everythings we will miss you big heart from the desert of morocco

Créativité hors norme et excellence, Toshihiko Koga disposait du plus beau et spectaculaire judo de tous les temps. Il est, à ce stade, la plus belle légende de ce sport.

Descanse en paz sensei. Su trabajo es de gran motivación para muchos.

He was an incredible athlete, judoka, and a huge inspiration to the younger generation. We would watch his DVDs on repeat, and all my life I've wanted to master the shoulder throw the way he did. I couldn't believe the news; he was so young.

He was and will always be my judo hero, I remember to watch his videos and try to do his wazas in my dojo as a kid. Domo arigato for everything, Koga sensei, you are a legend. 🙇

One Of The greatests! Rest in piece Samurai! 🙏🏻

¡Mi héroe! Tengo su nombre muy presente, Koga Sensei. No puedo evitar que se me haga un nudo en la garganta y me brote una que otra lágrima mientras escribo este mensaje. Definitivamente usted dejó un legado para todos los judokas del mundo, ¡gracias por inspirarnos para seguir el camino de la suavidad!

Condoléances à ses proches, ses amis, pour un homme extraordinaire

When I first started judo, I fell in love with the sport quickly. My father was my inspiration and my motivation for this sport. After school I would go home and look up judo on the internet and I watched many different judokas and their style of judo, but I’ve always was a big fan of Japanese judo and their beautiful throws. One day I came across Koga sensei and he immediately became my hero for this sport. Everyday I would pick up my big teddy bear at home and try kogas techniques and his techniques, especially seoi nage bacame my strongest technique. The most competitions I won with those techniques and they made me love the sport even more. If there wouldn’t be Koga I wouldn’t be the way I am today. Thank you for everything.❤️

My favourite Judoka ever ... absolute legend!

Im judo player when i was young in 2008 when i started judo he was and still my favourite player of all time

Such a loss. Too young to die at 53, now all we have is playing his videos again and again. Our condolences on your loss. Here are some comforting verses from the Bible. "And God (Jesus) will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4 "The Lord (Jesus) is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

Il Signor Koga è uno dei pochi judoka che si innalza nel cielo del mito. Oss Maestro

古賀さんの息子さんが頑張っています。応援しています
