Morhei Uesheba (1883-1969), founder of Aikido, also known as O-Sensei, or "the great teacher". This guy was the man, he existed in neither time nor space, on "the floating bridege between heaven and Earth". Sounds nice doesn't it? He could also kick your ass and dodge bullets (seriously). I wouldn't really like to talk to him, so much as have him kick my ass. You learn a lot from having your ass kicked, I should know, I've barely an ass left from all the kicking.
