 Demura Sensei & Yuji Okumoto
   

A friend to Demura Sense for many years, they reconnected during the Karate Kid II movie set.

I have known Yuji for over 42 years. He was kind enough to come to the annual Costa Mesa Dojo 1988 holiday tournament & signed autographs after making Karate Kid II.

Yuji was a guest of honor at Demura Sensei's 25th  

Anniversary Banquet,1990, a great black tie event.

 So it has been wonderful to follow his acting and producing career. A recent interview, here. 

A great interview into his career and family. I enjoyed his movie,

 Paper Tigers on Netflix and loved not only the action, but 

especially the humor not often found in martial arts films.

If you're in the Seattle area, the Okumoto's have two great restaurants, Kona Kitchen, featuring Hawaiian specialties.

   

Yuji Okumoto, one of the good guys.
