This is an interesting story concerning Kobyashi H. and Tomiki K. The former had contacted the latter to "discuss" Tomiki's ideas concerning shiai. The two men came to some sort of understanding which eventually resulted in quite a bit of cooperation but things really didn't take off untill after Kobyashi H. tried to pick up the wrong woman in Italy. The man was known for a "hard" lifestyle but he met his match with the woman's boyfriend, several of his buddies and their knives. After six months in hospital he called Tomiki K.
