This article called "Aikido master's prowess lives up to literature" highlights Robert Mustard sensei who was a featured character in Robert Twigger's book "Angry White Pyjamas."

From the article: "One day while working in the Burnaby dojo -- well after the book was published -- Mustard looked up; who should be standing there but a slightly nervous Twigger.

"I think he was really scared because he had called me crazy and unbalanced," Mustard said. [...] The two wound up eating pizza, drinking a bottle of whiskey and talking about Japan "and all the crap" until the wee hours of the morning."
