Foreword

Born the 36th descendant of the 56th Emperor of Japan, Masayuki Hisataka received a very strict education; his training in the martial arts started when he was three. Bright minded and strong willed, he was always leading his fellows at school. He was trained in gymnastics and track and field under the guidance of Olympic stars. He was promoted to black belt at the age of 13. In junior high school he began assisting his father at the Kenkokan. He became Shihan, the rank of Master, while he was still a university student; his techniques were excellent and he already understood the spirit of karatedo.
