Dec 29, 2020SAMURAI Joe Okada’s zoom session was the one I had been looking forward to for a long time. His sense of humor, jokes and anecdotes were awesome. His remark that to do swordsmanship, he keeps a strong mind and the sincerity to perform well did resonate with me. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!

Oct 05, 2020What an amazing show! I was so impressed by SAMURAI Joe Okada's Zoom meeting. I can't help admiring his energetic and skillful performance. He knows what an entertainment is. At the age of 91, he is evergreen, like pine trees. The way of being himself always inspires me with courage. I'm really looking forward to his next meeting.
