This web site has been established to promote the work of one of Shitoryu’s most respected karate masters, Shihan Kunio Murayama and the Shito-Kai organisation. Murayama Sensei, a life long member of Japan Karate-do Shito-kai and a member of the WSKF (World Shito-ryu Karate-do Federation) has been practising Shito Ryu Karate since his induction into the Toyo University in 1962. A direct student of Manzo Iwata Sensei, Murayama Sensei has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a result of his years spent with his late master. As well as a deep knowledge of Shito-ryu Karate-do, Manzo Iwata also imparted his knowledge of Daien-Ryu Jojutsu and Nanban Sattoryu Kenpo, as taught him by Shihan Fujita Seiko, the 14th generation Koga-Ryu Ninjustu expert, to whom he was introduced by his teacher and founder of Shito-Ryu Karate-do, Soke Mabuni Kenwa.

Today the Murayama Shito-kai organisation has many representatives across Pan America and has most recently established a group in Europe, in England, UK. Please explore this modest site for more information on Master Kunio Murayama including the links to other related sites, many of which hold a great deal of information on the Shito-kai Karate organisation, its Masters past and present and its vast world-wide membership.
