Kosaku Sumiyoshi ({{lang-ja|住吉耕作}}; born 1 October 1907) was a Japanese track and field athlete. He represented his country twice at the Summer Olympics (1928 and 1932) and was the first Asian to compete in the Olympic javelin throw. He was a three-time gold medallist at the Far Eastern Championship Games and the only person to win two javelin titles at the competition.

Career

Born in Hiroshima, Japan,^[1] he first emerged as a javelin thrower at the 1927 Far Eastern Championship Games held in Shanghai. His winning mark of {{T&Fcalc|56.90}} was an improvement of over five metres on the previous games record set two years earlier.^[2]

He made his Olympic debut for Japan at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics and placed thirteenth in the qualifying round with a mark of {{T&Fcalc|59.05}}. This appearance made his Asia's first ever entrant into the Olympic javelin throw.^[3] He stayed in Europe for a few weeks that August to compete at the 1928 Summer Student World Championships in Paris and there he defeated all comers with a throw of {{T&Fcalc|62.81}} to win the gold medal in a games record.^[4]

Sumiyoshi continued his regional dominance at the 1930 Far Eastern Championship Games in Tokyo. He defended his javelin title with a games record of {{T&Fcalc|62.19}}, which was ultimately the best ever throw in the history of the competition. This made him the first and only person to win two javelin Far Eastern titles. He also won a second gold for the host nation, scoring 2838 in the athletics pentathlon to top rankings as part of a Japanese medal sweep of the event.^[2] He travelled to Vienna that year to compete against Western competitors and had a lifetime best throw of {{T&Fcalc|66.42}} – a feat which ranked him seventh globally that year. A year later, he was again over the sixty-six-metre mark, having a season's best of {{T&Fcalc|66.03}} in the Japanese capital and ranking eighth in the world.^[5]

He confirmed his form prior to the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics with a mark of {{T&Fcalc|64.12}} in Tokyo in May.^[5] He was selected for the 1932 Olympic javelin alongside team mate Saburo Nagao and managed to finish in eighth place with {{T&Fcalc|61.14}}.^[1] In his last recorded season of athletic competition, he recorded {{T&Fcalc|65.58}} in September 1933 in São Paulo, placing twelfth globally.^[5]
