Hiro Fujimoto, 88 years old, a pioneer of Konan Yudanshakai and a past president of the USJF, passed away peacefully in Naples Florida, early morning 4/8/2010. His family was at his side.

Sensei Fujimoto was a co-founder of the Detroit Judo Club and helped produce champions and administrators. He did much for the development of the USJF, and we enjoy the fruits of his labors.

Respectfully,

One of his many students,
James Walmsley
