Hirokasu KOBAYASHI  learned aikido  closely from the founder O'Sensei Morihei UESHIBA because he was an ushi dechi (he lived by founder's house). Morihei UESHIBA has given  to him the 8th dan level in the practice of aikido so that hirokazu KOABAYASHI became one of the top masters in that martial art. 
Sensei KOBAYASHI was a highly contributor to the international diffusion of aikido; he frequently travelled abroad and especially in europe. He lived in OSAKA Japan and he passed away in that city on august 1998, he was 70.
