Biographical

At the 1976 Universe Championships, Sugita finished first place in the short class and was the overall winner.[1] On the day of the competition Sugita and two fellow countrymen and contestants, Kozo Sudo and Masashi Enomoto, posed for photographs in London's Hyde Park Square, an event which caused much interest to passers-by, who lined up along the fences to watch.[2]
