     Tasaka Dojo-cho is 7th dan in Aikido and 5th dan in Masakatsu Bo-jyutsu.  Tasaka Dojo-cho started Aikido in 1972 under Hikitsuchi Michio sensei, 10th dan.  Hikitsuchi sensei was a very close student of O-sensei who built O-sensei’s dojo in Shingu, Wakayama ken with O-sensei’s directive in 1953.  Kumano Jyuku Dojo is located at Shingu, Wakayama ken nestled in the three sacred grand shrines of Kumano: Kumano Hongu Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha and Kumano Nachi Taisha.  These grand shrines are 20~40 km apart, connected by the famous Nakahechi: Kumano old core trail of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage network over 1000 years of history.

     O-sensei's Aikido has been passed down throughout the world to this day.  Hikitsuchi sensei with his Shinto priest background and from his close relationship with O-sensei, had continued and passed down true to O-sensei’s spiritual foundation of the art and principles expressed in his lineage of Aikido. 

 
     Tasaka Dojo-cho has accompanied Hikitsuchi sensei countless occasions from 1978 to assist teach, demonstrate and conduct his own international seminars annually to share O-sensei and Hikitsuchi sensei’s Aikido throughout the world. This US tour is one of the annual series he started since 2003.  Except the three years during the Covid pandemic period, he has been coming to the US three cities every year to this day.
