Okamoto shihan started Aikido at Aikikai Hombu Dojo in 1977 with the late Doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba, then continued in France (1979-1981) with Christian Tissier. Upon returning to Japan, she continued training with shihans in Hombu Dojo, following mainly the late Seigo Yamaguchi shihan, and Ichiro Shibata shihan. She trained in Hombu for over a dozen years.
