  Obellianne's interview describes Jean Visconti as a karate practitioner with master 'Arada Harada' (likely the shotokai master Mitsusuke Harada, then in London); the identification and the relationship are tentative.

  visibilityFirst-hand

  “J'ai donc créé un club, le Bu Iku Kan avec un ami qui pratiquait le karaté avec maître Arada Harada, qui était à Londres, à l'époque. C'était du karaté do shotokaï, je crois. Il s'appelait Jean Visconti.”
