Rumina Sato(佐藤ルミナ,December 29,1973-) is a Japanese mixed martial arts fighter, currently competing in the Shooto organization. Being the first mixed martial artist to beat a black belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter by a submissionFact|date=March 2008, Sato is considered by many to be an exciting shoot wrestling-based fighter in MMA and has been nicknamed Tsukiookami, which means Moon Wolf. In the past he fought mostly in the 155 lb division, but has recently moved down to the 145 lb division. He is one of the senior fighters out of "K'z Factory", a Shooto school.

Biography

Sato was born in Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan on December 29, 1973. His real given name in Japanese is written 留美奈, which is also pronounced "Rumina".

He made his professional debut in Shooto on December 7, 1994. He won 10 straight matches, finally losing a highly publicized match to Canadian Jiu Jitsu Champion Joel Gerson via submission (arm bar) in the first round of a non-title event in 1998. This demonstrated the vulnerability of the talented fighter, as Sato would eventually lose the Shooto Welterweight championship to Caol Uno by KO at 2:21 in the first round on December 17, 2000.

He won the Shooto Pacific Rim Lightweight tournament on March 11, 2005.
