, more commonly known as Mas Oyama, was a karate master who founded Kyokushin Karate, considered the first and most influential style of full contact karate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black Belt )〕〔Lowe, Bobby. ''(Mas Oyama's karate as practiced in Japan )'' (Arco Pub. Co., 1964).〕 A Zainichi Korean, he spent most of his life living in Japan and acquired Japanese citizenship in 1964. He was an alumnus of Waseda University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black Belt )〕 ==Early life== Oyama was born as Choi Young-Eui () in Gimje, South Korea, during Japanese occupation. At a young age he was sent to Manchuria, Northeast China to live on his sister's farm. Oyama began studying Chinese martial arts at age 9 from a Chinese farmer who was working on the farm. His family name was Li and Oyama said he was his very first teacher. The story of the young Oyama's life is written in his earlier books.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black Belt )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black Belt )〕 In March 1938, Oyama left for Japan following his brother who enrolled in the Yamanashi Aviation School Imperial Japanese Army aviation school.〔Oyama, 1963, What is Karate, Japan Publications Trading Company.〕 Sometime during his time in Japan, Choi Young-Eui chose his Japanese name, Oyama Masutatsu (), which is a transliteration of 'Baedal' (). 'Baedal' was an ancient Korean kingdom known in Japan during Oyama's time as "Ancient Joseon". One story of Oyama's youth involves Lee giving young Oyama a seed which he was to plant; when it sprouted, he was to jump over it one hundred times every day. As the seed grew and became a plant, Oyama later said, "I was able to jump between walls back and forth easily." The writer, Ikki Kajiwara, and the publisher of the comics based the story on the life experience Oyama spoke to them about- thus the title became "Karate Baka Ichidai" (Karate Fanatic). In 1963, Oyama wrote "What is Karate" which became a best seller in the US and sold million copies all over the world. It is still considered by many to be the "Bible of Karate" to this day. It was translated into Hungarian, French, and English. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mas Oyama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
