    RIP Sensei Hidetaka Nishiyama

    http://www.martialinfo.com/Hidetaka-Nishiyama/
    The International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF) is in mourning today following the passing of their President and Chairman, Hidetaka Nishiyama at the age of 80. Mr. Nishiyama was a world renowned karate master well known for his steadfast dedication to the preservation and protection of the Martial Art of Traditional Karate.

    "Mr. Nishiyama passed away peacefully following his struggle with cancer", a family spokesperson said.
    Mr. Nishiyama dedicated his life to the Budo principles on which his beloved Martial Art of Traditional Karate is based. As a Charter Member of the Japan Karate Association and founding President of the Japan Karate Association International of America and the International Traditional Karate Federation, his influence on the modern day practice of Traditional Karate is unparalleled.

    I just quoted a small part of the article but there's more information there if you copy and paste the link.
