If you ask who my favorite kendoka is, I would have to say my sensei, Kataoka Noboru. When he is not doing kendo, teaching good kihon, or working on the AUSKF board, he is saying such important lines in films such as Black Rain like "shoes.. shoes..." or "You have done enough to him!"

When it comes to pros.... You have to like each champ. Miyazaki for the incredible displays that won him the titles. Eiga for being a superstrong kendoka, and Iwasa for coming out of nowhere. Iwasa's style is similar to that of my sensei, so I am an Iwasa fan.

If I had to mention one more, Id mention the other Sato, Sato Hiromitsu. He may have lost to Sato Mitsunobu in the semifinals, but his kote and men are both elegant, with great speed and power. Plus he is at the Osaka PD, and hopefully during my year of living in Japan that is forthcoming, I will have the opportunity to meet him.
