Nous sommes endeuillés par la perte de Nana, une aikidoka incroyable. Incroyable de par son étiquette, sa persévérance, sa candeur et sa rigueur dans le dojo. Nos plus sincères condoléances à Hans De Groot Sensei, à sa famille et à ses amis. Je garde de très bons souvenirs de notre cheminement ensemble.
Osu!
It is with deep sorrow and regret that I announce the passing of Naoko (Nana) Tanaka. Nana returned to the source on February 12, 2026 after a two-year battle with cancer. She was a longstanding and beloved member of the Aikido Yoshinkai Canada community, and a cherished member of Aikido Yoshinkai Ottawa. She fought her cancer with courage, determination, and a deep appreciation for what each moment of life offered her. She will be missed by all who knew her.
RIP Beauty
(A special thank you to Chris Johnston Shihan who added much joy to her last day)
Hans de Groot, Chief Instructor Aikido Yoshinkai Ottawa
