In 1966 he changed the name of the dojo to The San Francisco Judo Institute and moved to Taraval Street, there he continued to tutor and mentor many Judokas. Judo students young and old have come to respect Sensei's quiet wisdom. There will be a Funeral Procession to Olivet Mortuary in Colma following the services. The Fund will be administered as part of the USJF Endowment Trust by the Endowment's Board of Trustees where only the income can be expended at the Trustees' direction for judo related activities similar to the Fukuda Scholarship.
