Dear Leaders and members of Ashihara Family.

It is with great sadness in my heart, that I received information about the sudden death of Shihan Dai Valeriy G Ryzhkov, he passed away on 25 of April 2023.
Shihan Dai has been a leading figure within our family. He has been an inspiration for many karate Ka during his time in the Ashihara Family.
Many of you have met Shihan Dai on several World Championships, summer camps, and seminars. He has always been a strong figure and leader.

We will keep him in our hearts and minds for the future. Osu

Kanncho Hidenori Ashihara
