One exception to the rule of Japanese-people-in-Japan-who-can't-speak-English is Miyasaka sensei, founder of the ANU Kendo Club in Canberra, now returned to Japan. Of course he has the advantage (some would say disadvantage) of having lived in Aus for a while. I last met him at the Summer Camp at Kitamoto, where he was one of the Camp translators. He speaks English better than most native speakers. I asked him where he got his beautiful accent from and he said his Dad used to play BBC lingaphone records to him as a small child!

Of course Shioiri sensei is the other one.
