Ohhayo~

AlexPolli San, I would have explain myself clearer if my English is a bit more organized. You see I have exclued the 2nd generation of Japanese in foreign countries. Mainly because... I don't understand how to 'catergorize' them. To my knowledge, many of the Kendo Associations around the world do not have much Japanese as committee members/officials. This is to let the locals govern/promote/whatever Kendo as they wish, which (I think) will reduce the speculation that the Japanese are promoting a national sports that onlly benefits themselves. I suppose in the UK there's a national championship... Only kendoka holding British passports can enter the shiai... For the same reason.

For some (political) reason, I don't support China in the FIFA world cup...I may actually want to bet on China to win a whole lot of money. But I do support the women's team!! (sorry, off topic)

Jklak san, how could you say members are active when they've paid to the KA? But it's difficult to define the word 'active' too. In Japan I guess you've to practice every day to become an active member... Once or twice a week? Nah~

Other Questions to keep you thinking:
1. Ratio of countries' population to no. of kendoka
2. Ratio of women kendoka (haha, far more interesting)
