Taro Miyake (Miyake Taruji) (c. 1881-1935) was a Japanese professional wrestler. In 1905 he departed Japan for London where he famously defeated the reigning champion in the jujutsu style Yukio Tani. Miyake and Tani then joined forces opening a jujutsu school and co-authoring a book titled The Game of Ju-Jitsu. He is credited for helping establish judo in the United Kingdom at the start of the 20th century.
