Japanese bodybuilding has a relatively recent history compared to other countries. The sport gained popularity in Japan during the 1960s and 1970s, with the establishment of organizations and competitions dedicated to bodybuilding. The Japan Bodybuilding Federation (JBBF) was founded in 1965, and it has played a significant role in promoting and organizing bodybuilding events in the country.
In the early years, bodybuilding in Japan was heavily influenced by Western bodybuilding and the physiques of renowned international bodybuilders. However, as time went on, Japanese bodybuilders developed their unique styles and training techniques, incorporating elements of traditional Japanese culture.
Today, bodybuilding continues to be popular in Japan, with numerous competitions taking place at the amateur and professional levels. The JBBF remains the governing body for bodybuilding in Japan, overseeing events and promoting the sport nationwide.
