Biography
[edit]Tomio Otani was born in London in 1939 as the eldest son of judo master Masutaro Otani.[7][8] Growing up, Tomio learnt judo from his father.[9] At 15 Tomio began learning Kendo from Kenshiro Abbe and became his leading kendo student.[4] Tomio was a follower of Abbe's Kyūshindō philosophy and founded his own Yodokan philosophy. Tomio Otani defined Kyūshindō as "the accumulation of effort in a steady motion about the radius and center of gravity."[10] He then became a teacher of kendo, the bayonet arts and other budo to many students.[11][12] He was also a master of aikido but never took a grading.[13]
Tomio was awarded his 3rd Dan in 1969[4] and eventually reached 5th dan.[14] Students said, regarding his kendo: "Tomio was so fast that when we had competition, he would hit you several times with the shinai while you were thinking about hitting him."[13] At the beginning of 1990, Tomio's health started to deteriorate and he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Tomio Otani died on 8 June 1990.[6]
