Osamu Watanabe (渡辺 長武 Watanabe Osamu?, born on October 21, 1940) is a retired Japanese freestyle wrestler. In 1962, he debuted internationally and retired shortly after the 1964 Olympics. During his brief career Watanabe won all his few hundred bouts[2] without losing a single point. This achievement remains unmatched in any type of competitive wrestling, as reflected in the Guinness World Records.[1][3][4]
In the early 2000s Watanabe resumed competing internationally in the masters category.[5]
