Generally the situation with aikido teachers ranks above 7th Dan are considered notable in itself. Those listed with 6th Dan have something else adding to their notability and that would have to be exceptional for 5th Dans. There are an awful lot of 5th Dans around. Training in Japan, even Chief Instructor at a dojo in Japan, is not that unique. I've done that and I know others in his aikido organization that have done it. Further the teacher he is associated with does not even have an article so there is no way to evaluate how important that relationship is. There have been a number of deletions of aikidoists for much the same reason.Peter Rehse 05:57, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - If his only claim to fame is his Aikido rank, and absolutely nothing else, then I'll have to say delete as this isn't a notable achievement from a global encyclopedia angle. spazure 08:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
