– Living Legend of Shotokan – 

A Karate-Ka who started training Shotokan at Nihon University Karate Club, who was awarded his Shodan by Gichin Funkakoshi, the founder of the Shotokan Karate.

He trained directly under Masatoshi Nakayama, who is known as the “father of the modern Karate” and the first Chief Instructor of the JKA. He was one of the very first JKA HQ instructors, and he created a legend by training and competing among the founders of today’s Shotokan Karate: Tetsuhiko Asai (JKS), Keinosuke Enoeda(KUGB/JKA England), Hirokazu Kanazawa (SKIF), Teruyuki Okazaki (ISKF), and etc…  He is also known as the instructor of the famous Masahiko Tanaka (former JKA, JTK Supreme Master).

Even at 91 years of his age, he continues to train and research Karate deeply.  This is a special seminar that he will conduct, aimed generally towards the higher ranks of Karate practitioners to pass on his knowledge and skills.
