    Default Japanese Bujinkan Shihan

    I have read in a number of places that most students of the Bujinkan are non Japanese. That is not surprising as I think this is probably common in a number of arts. But I would like to know if Hatsumi soke has a number of Japanese students and who are his longer term students and higher rank shihans? I notice in his recent kodansha released books the faces are pretty much all Japanese and all re-occuring.

    thanks for your time,

    Jeff

    Why do you need to know this, if I may ask?

    As the issue with the real name is cleared now, we might get back to my question to you:

    Why do you need the names of Japanese shihan?
    I find this a particulary weird question. I cannot see any use of it, except for maybe bragging and impressing your peers, by tossing in a name of a shihan every now and then.

    I am NOT saying that this IS what you want to do with these names, but I cannot figure out another reason...

    Holy crap all these posts to answer squat.
    Is it that secret and amazing info. Maybe he just is interested in what Shihan there are in Japan, why need to know why. Why do you need to know why? Do they need protecting by you?

    This is why anyone is iffy about posting a question online about anything.

    Do you think it honestly impresses people becuase you know of a name? That is a very indulgent thought of the school.

    So if I say Nagouchi, Nagato, Ishizuka, Yoshida, Yabanuka, Shiraishi all in one sentence I will look like I know more and impress my friends. How does it work with the ladies?

    Couldn't have said it better myself. It's funny how most westerners take the whole loyalty to the Ryu concept way more serious than the japanese, probably too serious. Sounds like alot of Eliteist mentalitied practitioners are starting to get afraid of there own shadows. What a shame.
