Does anyone remember Taro Myaki? He was going strong when I began to attend Friday night matches in Atlanta in the early '60s. The one thing I remember about him was that he usually left the ring talking to his hand! He would use that hand to deliver his judo chops then he would hold it out in a chopping mode and talk to it as if it had a mind of its own, while everyone laughed and jeered.

A normal reply from me is to remind you how old you are...
But you got me on this one, I don;t remember this guy!

Bobby, you are but a child. You'll find Taro Myaki listed in the results on this websight beginning October-December 1961.

Can't answer your question Danny, 'cause I was only 2 years old and living in France in 1961. But here's a couple of pictures of Myaki.   |

Just saw on Cauliflower Alley Club's webpage an obituary for Taro Myaki. He apparently passed away in Hawaii under hospice care on November 7 at age 89.
