Jutaro Nakao (born November 30, 1970) is a Japanese mixed martial artist. He competes in both the Lightweight and Welterweight divisions.
A predominantly judo based fighter, Nakao is known for his chiseled physique and highly defense on the ring, being difficult to finish off by his opponents. He is also famous for his prowess with the triangle choke, having received the nickname of "King of Triangle" by the Japanese press due to his multiple victories through said technique.
He is also one of the few fighters who have a legal win through the popularly called "rape choke" or two-handed stranglehold, after defeating Thomas Denny with it.
