Wan Tung was a community leader and the most famous judo expert in all of Japan. After an American doctor named Dr. John Smith saved his life, Wan Tung chose to teach judo to Dr. Smith's son Joe alongside his own son, Yoshimiru.

On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed and the Smiths needed to be protected from a country that no longer liked Americans. Wun Tang took them in hiding and continued to teach the boys judo. When the atom bomb put an end to the war, the Smiths were able to leave their hiding place and Joe began winning one judo tournament after another with his fame spreading across the land eventually becoming known as Judo Joe.
