Sensei Ohgami was
born in Japan in 1941. He started training Karate in 1960 when
he entered Tokyo university (Todia) where Sensei
Hironori Otsuka was the instructor of the Karate club. His
interest in Karate overwhelmed the idea of becoming a medical
doctor so that he changed his major to chemistry.
He worked for a company as a chemical
researcher between 1965 and 1969 where he also instructed
Karate. In 1969 he went to Sweden as a guest researcher at
Chalmers Technical University in Gothenburg. Shortly after arriving
in Sweden, He started a Karate club. The club grew in such proportion
that he decided to give up a career in chemistry and has been
engaged in teaching Karate fulltime since 1972.
He was graded to 5th Dan Black Belt by
Sensei Otsuka in 1974. Other than Karate his interests spreads
