Bujinkan Leadership Legacy

Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the 34th Sōke (Grandmaster) of Togakure-ryū Ninjutsu and founder of the Bujinkan, has dedicated his life to preserving and teaching these ancient martial traditions. His influence extends globally through dedicated instructors who maintain the authenticity of these teachings.

In December 2019, Sōke Hatsumi appointed successors to each of the nine historic schools (ryū-ha) that form the core of the Bujinkan system, ensuring their preservation for future generations. This historic decision ensures the continuation of these ancient martial traditions.
