MASTER Y. SAMMY KATO
Doshu of Shinwa Taido
1922-2010

Shinwa Taido has lost one of its true leaders this year. Master Y. Sammy Kato, Doshu to all Shinwa Taido institutes, passed away this last January. Master Kato was 87. Our deepest sympathies for wife, Kazue; sons, Thomas and Kenneth; and brother Katsumi.

Master Y. Sammy Kato's deep love for this art was shown in his teaching and knowledge. Master Kato was as excited to teach as we were to learn and I will always treasure our many conversations for his wisdom and guidance which he provided me throughout the years.

We will miss you and I will miss you even more, your student and friend.

Master Ronald S. Best
National Director
Shinwa Taido
