Congratulations to Dennis Hooker and William Gleason for their 7th Dan promotions.

If I understand what Google Translate tells me, it seems that Yasuno Sensei of Hombu Dojo, Shibata Sensei (founder of the Berkeley Aikikai) and Inagaki Sensei (of the Ibaraki Branch Dojo), among others, have all been promoted to 8th Dan.

Mind you, Google also lists promotions for "Thirteen male Nara", "Registration and Murasumi", "Public lighting Uchizaki", "Takashi plow handle" and "Suzuki Southern male", so what do I know...
