Had the opportunity to take ukemi from him once. He grabbed my thumb and bent it backwards until I was down and tapped out. Simple and effective, kind of like a Wally George technique. Later same class, he did 3 attacker randori (Matsuoka Sensei was one of the ukes) - very impressive, extremely quick for such a big man! My impression is that his Aikido is the real deal. Glimmer Man of Glitter Man, whatever, that's a different, sadder story.
