Rumina Sato (佐藤 ルミナ Satō Rumina, born December 29, 1973) (Japanese pronunciation: [satoː ɽu͍̥mi̥na], kanji for given name: 留美奈) is a Japanese mixed martial artist, currently competing in the Shooto organization. Being the first mixed martial artist to beat a black belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter by a submission[citation needed], Sato is considered by many to be an exciting shoot wrestling-based fighter in MMA and has been nicknamed Tsukiookami, which means Moon Wolf. In the past he fought mostly in the 155 lb division, but has recently moved down to the 145 lb division. He is one of the senior fighters out of K'z Factory, a Shooto school. Rumina Sato is part of the INSPIRIT Fight Team and aids in creating/designing Mixed Martial Arts gear.

[edit] Biography
Sato was born in Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan on December 29, 1973. He made his professional debut in Shooto on December 7, 1994. He won 10 straight matches, finally losing a highly publicized match to Canadian Jiu Jitsu Champion Joel Gerson via submission (arm bar) in the first round of a non-title event in 1998. This demonstrated the vulnerability of the talented fighter, as Sato would eventually lose the Shooto Welterweight championship to Caol Uno by KO at 2:21 in the first round on December 17, 2000.
Sato is also thought to have had the fastest submission victory in MMA history when he submitted Charles Diaz in a mere 5 seconds due to a flying armbar.[2]
He won the Shooto Pacific Rim Lightweight tournament on March 11, 2005.
On July 10, 2009 Sato competed in a grappling superfight at the UFC 100 Fan Expo Grappler's Quest against Ulysses Gomez, winning by submission.
