Shinobu Ota (太田 忍, Ōta Shinobu, born December 28, 1993) is a Japanese Greco-Roman wrestler and mixed martial artist. Throughout his career, he notably claimed the 2016 Olympic silver medal at 59kg, the '19 World Championship at 63kg, the '18 Asian Games Gold medal at 60kg and three Asian Championship medals (champion in 2018 at 60 kg).
Wrestling career
[edit]Ota began participating in major international and domestic wrestling tournaments while attending the Nippon Sport Science University. As a third-year student he won the Hungarian Wrestling Grand Prix, and as a fourth-year student he won the Emperor's Cup.[2]
Ota took part in the 2016 Asian Olympic qualifier tournament, held between March 18–20, 2021, competing in the 59 kg Greco Roman event. He was scheduled to face the six-time world champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Hamid Sourian in the opening round. Despite coming into the match as a significant underdog, Ota pulled off an upset victory, beating Sourian 7–4 on points.[3] Ota would furthermore beat Phils Tuktaev in the quarterfinals and Kim Seung-Hak in the semifinals, before losing to Wang Lumin in the finals. Despite this loss, he won the right to participate in the Olympic Games.[4]
Ota was scheduled to fight a rematch with Hamid Sourian in the opening round of the 2016 Olympic games. Despite losing 4-0 by the end of the first half of the match, Ota mounted a comeback in the second half, winning by 6–5 on points. He beat Almat Kebispayev 6–0 in the next round, Stig-André Berge 4–0 in the quarterfinals and Rovshan Bayramov in the semifinals, which guaranteed him the silver medal.[5] Ota faced the Cuban Ismael Borrero in the final match, and lost by technical fall.[6]
Ota won the 2018 Asian Games 60 kg Greco-Roman event.[7]
Ota participated in the 2019 All-Japan Selection Championship for the 2020 Olympic Games, taking part in the 60 kg Greco-Roman event. He lost to the 2019 World Championship winner Kenichiro Fumita 1–4 in the finals.[8] As this rendered him unable to participate in the Olympic Games, Ota opted to take part in the 67 kg Greco-Roman event as well.[9] He lost the very first match.[10]

[edit]Following his retirement from wrestling competition, he signed with Rizin Fighting Federation.[11] Tokoro made his professional debut against Hideo Tokoro at Rizin 26 on December 31, 2020.[11] He lost the fight by a second-round armbar.[12]
