When Alfredo Tucci, head of Budo International, proposed that I work on a project about Wado Ryu, he truly struck a chord with me. I have dedicated significant effort to highlighting the differences between Hironori Ohtsuka’s style and other Karate styles. Some of these works have been published, while others have simply been shared with those who might find them useful—Karate instructors, referees, and others.

Additionally, I have conducted Wado Ryu seminars in various locations, including some within the Judge Tribunal Courses of the Karate Federation. Yet, despite all this, I still feel that the finer details of this style remain largely unknown.
