It is very sad to know that Hanshi Gibu passed away. He will be remembered as a person who dedicated his entire life for Okinawa Shorinryu Karate-do and founded the Butokukan and his legacy will be carried over by all his students and passed onto other generations to come; especially by Hanshi Masanobu Kikukawa, one of his dearest students, the founder of Shinkokai.
