He has been a member of the House of Representatives for many years, he has 6th judo and he leads the club of black belts in the Japanese Parliament.

„Yoshiaki Harada is my friend, he has been supporting our activities for many years. For the first time he supported us during the 1st Budo Conference in 2007, in 2013 he supported us during the formation of WTKF, sending letters of support to the sports authorities in the world. We are happy that his tight time agenda let him visited Dojo in Stara Wieś. The effect of the visit is to start cooperation and launch a program aimed at exchanging young people from southern Japan and Poland” – said Sensei Włodzimierz Kwieciński.
