KANCHO TORU TEZUKA

Toru Tezuka was born on March 2nd, 1942, in Tokyo, Japan.
His sister, Masako, became Sosai Oyama’s secretary while she was a college student.
Toru Tezuka first heard of Mas Oyama in 1956, as Sosaļ's bare hand fights against bulls made the newspapers and television.

Toru Tezuka met Mas Oyama for the first time in 1960 when he was in college. They became very good friends.
Sosai soon encouraged Toru Tezuka to join the Kyokushin Kaikan, but Toru Tezuka was too busy doing extracurricular activities.

In 1964, after graduation, Toru Tezuka became a business man as well as an industrial designer. He finally answered Sosaļ's call and started as one of his students in 1973.
After Sosai gave him orders to attend the general meetings, Toru Tezuka also joined the Kyokushin Kaikan as a committee member of the Organization.

In 1974, Toru Tezuka established the first dojo at Chiba according to Sosai Oyama's principles and started his teaching.
Toru Tezuka received the rank of Shodan from Mas Oyama in August 1976.
He organized the first tournament in Chiba in 1979. Many talented fighters participated in this tournament, including Matsui, a student of the Tezuka dojo. Matsui studied with Toru Tezuka for 13 years.

Over the course of the following years, Toru Tezuka became a Shihan at Kyokushin Kaikan, established 12 dojos in the Chiba Prefecture, and held another 10 tournaments in Chiba.
