'Masutatsu 'Mas' Oyama (大山倍達 Ōyama Masutatsu, 1923 - 1994), was a karate master who founded Kyokushinkai; a style of karate which stresses that its students should submit to vigorous training.'

HE WAS BORN AND BREED IN KOREA NOT JAPAN OR OKINAWA!!!! IT IS FAIR TO SAY KYOKUSHIN KARATE IS ' KOREAN ROOT PLANTED IN JAPAN KARATE'. NOT OKINAWA!!!! Whoever added so much text to the article recently, your inputs are appreciated. However, Mas Oyama spent the majority of life in Japan, and therefore, Mas Oyama is the name that should be emphasized when discussing him, not his Korean name that he only used for a short period of his life before he left for the country (Japan) that he apparently felt would provide him with more opportunities to do what he wanted to do than his native country. If you want to say that he changed his name to a Japanese name because of racism in his adopted country, then you need to cite an original source, because I've seen other sources say that he renamed himself for less pejorative reasons. The majority of his life was spent in Japan, with Japanese people, speaking in Japanese, leading a Japanese martial arts' organization. Most of the stories about his early life like living on the widow's farm and training for three years in the mountains by himself are now openly being questioned by martial artists around the world who knew him before he passed away. The article should reflect that. If you want the article to take the stance of your personal interpretation of his life, then you need to back-it-up with a lot of good references, and that means references besides advertisements for Kyokushin organizations. If you're not able or willing to do that, then I think some edits are appropriate to this article. 03:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC) I heavily disagree. CHoi youn Eui was his name, and most of his close friends and students were Korean or of Korea descent. Chae Bae Dal, kid of like Mr. Korean People, translated, was his nickname. He took a Japanese name to be used while in Japan. I train in Kyokushin in Korea and my teacher was a personal friend and studet of his. He was proud to be Korean and he loved Japanese budo culture. He was himself, he had a Korea background and a Japanese background, it shouldn't be said that we should forget his korean side just to make him more two dimensional for us. He was a Korean, and he DID face rascism when he first went to Japan, and when he was winning all the fights against Japanese fighters using their own budo, his style of i, they weren't happy. It was because of his determination and the great style that he created that got him to be accepted. This is portrayed very well in the movie, 'fighter in the Wind.' Sonia griselda benavides facebook. And the last big part of civics is kind of the loftiest: putting country over self, and even over your party. I am aware that it is just a movie, however, but it does show the side from a Korean point of view, which has some truth in it as well. Many Koreans of his time weren't allowed to be added to the rosters of dojos as students. So, I don't need to be able to cite any specific source, I can tell you that he was a human being of Korean heritage who was proud to be Korean, and who loved japanese culture and lived in Japan. That doesn't make him so two dimensional that one could forget that he was korean. He visitd Korea frequently, my teacher has remarked on this numerous times. Choi Yeong-Eui vs Masutatsu Oyama [ ] I think it would be offensive to him and his parents who named him Choi Yeong-Eui not to use both names as much as you can.
