History
Toshitsugu Takamatsu was known as Moko No Tora (Mongolian Tiger). Once while in the mountains of China, he was attacked by several bandits. One of the bandits grabbed Takamatsu around the waist. The bandit suddenly screamed, and letting go of Takamatsu, fell to the ground holding his face. Takamatsu later said he did not know what he had done to the man but, feeling something wet and warm in his hand, he realized he had plucked the man's eye out. He gave the bandit first aid and then charged him for his services.
Masaaki Hatsumi is the founder of the Bujinkan Dojo, with it's Hombu Dojo located in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Dr. Hatsumi inherited the nine schools that comprise the Bujinkan from the late Toshitsugu Takamatsu Soke shortly before Takamatsu's passing in 1972. Hatsumi named his organization Bujinkan (Devine Warrior Training Hall) in honor of Takamatsu, whom he considered a Devine Warrior.
