That would be Nariyama sensei, right Peter? Tomiki sensei and Kobayashi sensei had a professional (and perhaps personal friendship), one that belies the assumption that the different factions of aikido were adamantly separated (and I think I'm going to start a new thread on Tomiki sensei).

Yes that is who I mean. Kobayashi would hold his own class at Shodokan Honbu once a week a tradition that I think still continues. Its been awhile since I confirmed that.
Interestingly, those in the know, say Nariyama is more like Kobayashi than Tomiki but I think this reflects body type.
Anyway - Kobayashi's influence is great.
