Description
Ueda Heitaro (1877-1949) was a Japanese kendo master, three-time participant in the Tenran shiai (imperial martial arts tournaments), and the only kenshi to be deified as a Shinto kami. He served as head instructor for the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai Kagawa branch, Kagawa police, Takamatsu prison, and several schools. He was a student of Naito Takaharu in kendo, and from 1919 studied Tosa Eishin-ryu iaijutsu under Hosokawa Yoshimasa, receiving menkyo kaiden in Muso Shinden Eishin-ryu in 1923.

There he studied directly under Naito Takaharu and crossed shinai with the likes of Saimura, Nakano, Oshima, and Shimatani (this was slightly before Mochida, Ogawa, Miyazaki, and Oasa, etc arrived). ”
