Condolences from Around the World
Bull Wagner - Instituto Takemussu, Brasil
“When I and my students saw this photo of Kato
Sensei in action in 2003 we knew that he had
something very special to share with us. In 2004,
fortunately, he accepted our invitation to come to
teach in our country. Since that time ahead we
started having contact with him almost every year
in Brazil.
Thanks to his generosity and strong desire of teaching the Aikido he learned from the
Founder, a new vision about the possibilities of the Way were opened to us.
He is now part of Brazilian Aikido History and will live always in our minds and hearts.
Our condolences to his family, friends and students.”
2003 年に生徒達と加藤先生の魅力的な合気道の写真を見たと、その瞬間、加藤先生か
ら何か学ぶべきことがあると見えて来たような気がした。2004 年に私達にとって幸運
なことに、加藤先生は招待に応じて、ブラジルで合気道セミナーを行われました。その
時以来ほぼ毎年加藤先生と接触されました。加藤先生は大先生から学んだ合気道の教え
をたくさん得ることができました。なお、彼はブラジルの合気道歴史の一部となりまし
た。ご遺族、友人、並びに生徒達に心よりお悔やみを申し上げます
。

"I had the good fortune to know and train with Hiroshi Kato when we invited him to
Venezuela to give a seminar. Kato Sensei touched everyone's hearts with his charisma,
his sympathetic manner, and his authentic style of Aikido. He left a feeling of sincerity
and honesty as he traveled through our nation. We have lost one off the great ones.
Blessings and peace to his spirit!"
