==History==
Tokaido's founder, Shizuo Sugiura, was a martial arts enthusiast who would watch demonstrations and competitions of many different Japanese martial arts.〔 With time, he became increasingly interested in the art of karate.〔 At the time, karate practitioners would simply use judo uniforms or other clothing for training.〔〔(Tokaido Japan Direct International: Frequently Asked Questions ) (2009). Retrieved on April 21, 2010.〕 Judo emphasizes grappling, so training in that art typically requires a strong, heavy uniform; karate emphasizes striking, so training in that art does not require so heavy a uniform.〔 Sugiura was already working in the clothing industry, and decided to combine his work with his interest in karate by producing uniforms specifically for karate training.〔
In 1958, Sugiura established the Tokaido company.〔〔〔 Its name means ''Eastern Sea Shop'' in Japanese, and comes from the name of Sugiura's home region on the east coast of Honshū island.〔 Sugiura began supplying sample uniforms to instructors of the newly formed Japan Karate Association (JKA), and used their feedback to improve the designs and manufacturing.〔 The JKA helped popularize the Tokaido brand amongst Shotokan karate practitioners;〔 the karate masters who appear in Masatoshi Nakayama's series of ''Best Karate'' textbooks were wearing Tokaido uniforms.〔Redmond, R.
