Condolence Message
Pakistan Kyokushin-kan Federation
On behalf of the Pakistan Kyokushin-kan Federation, I, Branch Chief Muhammad Imran Khan, 4th Dan Black Belt (Japan Kyokushin-kan), express my deepest sorrow and heartfelt condolences on the passing of Kaicho Hatsuo Royama.
We are deeply shocked and saddened by this heartbreaking news. It is difficult to believe that our beloved Kaicho is no longer with us. May Almighty Allah grant him eternal peace, and may his soul rest in peace.
Kaicho Hatsuo Royama was one of the most senior masters of Kyokushin, a true living legend, and a faithful guardian of Sosai Masutatsu Oyama's legacy. His lifelong dedication to preserving, promoting, and strengthening the true spirit of Kyokushin through Kyokushin-kan inspired countless karateka around the world. His leadership, wisdom, humility, and unwavering commitment to Budo will never be forgotten.
His passing is an immeasurable loss to the international Kyokushin family. Although he has left this world, his teachings, character, and legacy will continue to guide future generations of martial artists.
We extend our sincere condolences to the Royama family, the Kyokushin-kan Headquarters, and all members of the worldwide Kyokushin-kan community during this difficult time.
May Kaicho Hatsuo Royama rest in eternal peace. Osu.
