I've published a few videos previously about the Tozai Taiko Tournament - or the All Japan East vs West Kendo Tournament, which is basically two single team Shiai. One 5 person team women's match, and one 35 person team men's match. In each category there is one team from the East of Japan, and one from the West. Competitors are selected to participate, and assigned to a team based on where they are living in the country. It always makes for a great series of matches to watch, as generally the selected members are well known, or famous Sensei in their own right.

Yamada Sensei is a former All Japan Champion AND individual World Champion, and what ensues is an epic battle between two Kendo titans :
