The judo competition at the 1964 Summer Olympics was the first time the sport was included in the Summer Olympic Games.<ref name="SR">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> As a result, decades of judo being officially banned as an "imperialist sport" in the Soviet Union ended shortly before the Games started, as Soviet authorities prioritized winning medals above all else.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The medals were awarded in 4 classes, and competition was restricted to men only. The competition was held in the Nippon Budokan, which was built to host the competition.
