Taro Ariga, CEO e-bogu.com Inc.
I am in love with this beautiful art: Kendo. I am most certain of that.
I started Kendo in Brazil in 1975, and since then I have visited many different Dojos all over the world. I was very fortunate to have been taught by many different Senseis, who were all great instructors. They taught me not only Kendo techniques, but also the fundamentals of human character. So here I find myself now, thanks to all the Senseis, who made me work hard all these years.
After living in Brazil for twelve years, I moved to Canada. There, I eventually became a member of the Canadian National Team for the World Kendo Championships - for five consecutive tournaments. In 1992, I moved to Japan to join IBM Japan, to pursue my career in the IT (Information Technology) field. There, with the help of many, founded the IBM Kendo Club. During my 6 years of living in Japan, I had the opportunity to really enjoy Kendo, and learn the Art in depth by visiting different Dojos and meeting new Kenshis everyday.
By living in various countries, I realized how difficult it is to obtain good quality Kendo equipment outside of Japan. That is when the idea of integrating my IT expertise and my love for the traditional Japanese art came to my mind. This was the start of e-bogu.com Inc. Our headquarters is located in Los Angeles, California, providing high quality Kendo equipment to Kenshis all over the world everyday. e-bogu.com's four partners and all the staff are active Kenshis. We know what good Kendo equipment is, because we use them during practice everyday. Just to give you an example, we select our Shinai collection based on our favorite Shinais. They are very popular among high-ranking Senseis.
"High quality Martial Arts equipment for everyone, anywhere in the world" will always be our motto. I really enjoy doing what I am doing, as I am communicating directly to our clients, discussing Kendo and there is always something new to learn everyday. I hope you enjoy shopping at our site, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
