{{nihongo|Hideaki Yanagida|柳田 英明|Yanagida Hideaki|born 1 January 1947}} is a retired Japanese bantamweight freestyle wrestler. He won his event at the 1970 Asian Games, 1970 and 1971 world championships and 1972 Summer Olympics.
Life and career
He felt extremely pressured to perform well at the 1972 Olympics, and thus complained of an early burnout. He retired right after winning gold and became the coach of the national team in 1973 up until the 1976 Summer Olympics. He was then working in his home town for the family business (a liquor shop) and in 1983 was invited to coach the Korean national team up to the 1988 Summer Olympics. Since 1993, he has been coaching wrestlers in his home town.{{Cite news|url=https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/local/akita/feature/CO035572/20181010-OYTAT50021.html?from=yartcl_blist|title=聖火は今も《上》「褒めて伸ばす」指導一貫|newspaper=読売新聞秋田版|date=2018-10-10|accessdate=2019-01-29|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190130053330/https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/local/akita/feature/CO035572/20181010-OYTAT50021.html?from=yartcl_blist|archivedate=2019-01-30|language=ja}} As a coach, he advised Mitsuru Sato who later won gold at the 1988 Olympics, to attend Nippon Sport Science University.{{cite web|url=http://london2012.nikkansports.com/column/history/archives/f-cl-tp0-20120712-982062.html |title=五輪代表奪った先輩に指導され成就／レスリング・佐藤満|publisher=Nikkansports.com|accessdate=2019-11-08|language=ja|date=2012-12-14}}
