Karate VS Judo in Japan

Rumour says that in Japan, Judo is much more popular rather than Karate. Does this rumour true anyway? I wonder what makes judo is more popular in Japan itself rather than karate, besides the judo's status as the Olympic sport, along with taekwondo...

Taekwondo has become more of a sports than a martial arts discipline (around 50%-50%).

Interesting, I would like to know wich one is more popular.
Here, as Jyû-jutsu practitioner, I confess Judo is much more familiar to me.
I know about the great masters like Jigoro Kano and the strongest Masahiko Kimura (the master that teached to Helio Gracie an humbleness lesson).
I barely know Karate Shotokan and Kyokushin.
Please, wich one is more popular in Japan?
