Funakubo-Gatame

Funakuo's favorite technique is Newaza, especially Osaekomi-waza called Funakubo-Gatame.[2][4][5] Funakubo-Gatame is considered a modified Hara-Zutsumi(stomach wrap grabbing) technique.Hara-Zutsumi originates from Nanatei Judo[10] This is officially classified as Kuzure-Kesa-Gatame or Kata-Gatame.[2][4][5] When she was in the second grade at junior high school, she couldn't practice Judo because of a knee injury. Thus she was doing 1000 Pull‐ups every day for a month.[5] After the recovery, she invented Funakubo-Gatame to turn over an opponent in a prone position.[2][4][5]

Some in the media say Funakubo looks like the actress Rena Nōnen.[3][4][5]
