This appears to be one of those cases where what I call "real world notability" conflicts with WP notability.  Some aikido practitioners I know think well of him, but no one has been able to produce any significant independent coverage of him.  His name doesn't appear in the Aikido Journal or any other MA publications I can find.  He does appear to have been on a world championship winning team, but even that is diminished by the fact that it was for a relatively new version of aikido (and even that split into two factions) and the event was for only one of those.  Plus those "world" championships seem to be have been contested by only two teams.  If the martial arts  weren't so fragmented with so many "world champions", it would be easy to say  is met.  Meanwhile, the lack of coverage means  is not met.  I think this is a close call
