Bank Name: Mizuho Bank, Ltd.
Branch: Iidabashi
Branch Number: 061

From now on (as of April 1, 2009) annual fees payable in U.S. dollars to JKA HQ by JKA-approved foreign country members must be directly remitted to this account. Any other payments payable in U.S. dollars (e.g., Dan and Kyu registration fees) if not paid in cash must also be sent to this account. No checks will be accepted.
