AAA was founded by Fumio Toyoda I believe in the early 1980s after he separated from the Ki Society. He reaffiliated the organization with the founding organization sometime around 1995 I believe. Andy Sato was one of his senior students. After Toyoda sensei's death Sato sensei was the chief instructor and then eventually went out on his own forming the AWA. He is a 6th dan with the Aikikai (founding organization).
