Tsutomu Chida
Tsutomu Chida (千田 務, Chida Tsutomu?, born 4 October 1950 in Tokyo) was previously one of the highest ranking shihan of Yoshinkan aikido, at 8th dan,[1] and dojocho of its hombu dojo[2] from 2002.[3] He first became a part of Yoshinkan in 1969 but split from the organization in January 2008 following the resignation of kanchou Kyoichi Inoue. Chida was an uchideshi of Yoshinkan founder Gozo Shioda for 33 years—the longest term among Shioda's uchideshi--[4] and directed the senshusei course. He is "a living legend of Yoshinkan aikido"[3] and current "highest shihan" (最高師範) of his Yoshinkan offshoot school, Aikido Renshinkai (合気道錬身会).[5]

Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba and gained prominence directly before and after World War II.
In the first 40 post-war years, his original students established their own schools, or gained renown as part of the Aikikai.
In the modern period, some students not directly taught by Ueshiba began establishing their own styles and are gaining prominence.
