It looks like an "au" for blue as the first character on his nafuda. Maybe it is Aoki or Aoyama.

piercing metsuke mr watson, it is well done to read something intelligible on the zekken from that angle. I will post another pic of this gentleman when I get home late this evening. I am downtown now to buy a new keyboard, as I spilled sugared coffee in my old one, in a distracted moment. So much for zanshin.Originally posted by Andy Watson

On the other pic, you can see the entire zekken. Nafuda? Is it the same as zekken?

Well that just goes to show how wrong you can be, in this case I got it utterly wrong. In fact I don't even recognise that kanji.
The area he is from begins with the character 'me' but there are no prefectures to my knowledge that begin with that.
Nafuda is technically the right word to use for the name plate you affix to your dogi, the zekken is the number which you affix when grading. The two however are freely interchanged by a lot of Japanese sensei these days.
He's from Meguro, a ward in Tokyo. Looks like the first character in his name is "tai".

We must not forget the nice pics

That's cute.
That's the father and he was about to spank his son for discipline with that stick and the son said "I don't think so!"

As a matter of interest, Nishimoto sensei will be visiting England in September....anyone interested in training with him drop me a line... He is also thinking about staying here in the UK for a year and has asked how much it would cost him! I suppose I'll have to go training every day with him...how unlucky can you get.

Why are you reading this instead of being out training? No excuses accepted...
I'm just bumping this back cause these are nice admirable fun pics to look at.
