Born in 1927 Kiichi Nakamoto 10th-dan Goju-ryu Karate / 10th-dan Ryukyu Dento Kobujutsu is one of the elder statesmen even among the karate masters.

At a young age Nakamoto Sensei studied karate under Chojun Miyagi Sensei then later under Eiichi Miyazato Sensei.

      Glad you like the photos. A video interview is a possibility but all depends on the availability of Nakamoto Sensei and if the video series can find funding for a second season.
