Dear fellow kendo friends,

It was with profound sorrow for us to learn that Mr. Akinori Kojima had passed away on February 4.
Mr. Kojima has made a significant contribution to the promotion and development of kendo, not only in the CLAK but also internationally.
On behalf of International Kendo Federation, I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Latin American Kendo Confederation and his family.

Tadahiro Ajiro
President, FIK
