🌏 The World Shotokan Karate-Do Federation W.S.K.F. — Spotlight on Sensei Tomiko Mitsuoka (8th Dan, England)
A respected Shihankai member and Chief Instructor of WSKF England, Sensei Mitsuoka began her Shotokan journey in 1966, at a time when few women trained in Japan. Through unwavering discipline and spirit, she rose to become one of the most senior female instructors in the WSKF worldwide.
Present at the formation of the WSKF in 1990 — alongside Shihan Hitoshi Kasuya and Master Kamiyanagi — Sensei Mitsuoka continues to guide students with humility, strength, and a lifelong devotion to karate-do.
Her words capture the essence of her path:
“Karate is everything to me — it is my way of life, and it gives me purpose.”
🙏 We are honoured to recognise Sensei Mitsuoka’s example and contribution to the global WSKF family.
