=== Sagawa === [[Image:University of Tsukuba 1.jpg|thumb|right|The [[University of Tsukuba]], where members of the Sagawa branch teach ''aiki-jūjutsu'' today]] The last major group consists of students of Yukiyoshi Sagawa (佐川 幸義, ''Sagawa Yukiyoshi'', 1902–1998), who was once considered to be the successor to Takeda Sokaku (should Tokimune not have survived World War II).{{citation needed|date=February 2010}} Sagawa ran only a single ''dojo'' and taught a relatively small number of students. He began studying Daitō-ryū under Takeda Sokaku in 1914 after first learning the art from his father, Sagawa Nenokichi (1867–1950), who was also a student of Sokaku and a holder of a ''[[Kyōju Dairi]]'' (teaching license) in the system. Although considered by many to be one of the most accomplished students of Sokaku,<ref name="Pranin-Sagawa">{{cite encyclopedia|last=Pranin |first=Stanley |title=Sagawa, Yukiyoshi |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Aikido |year=2006 |url=http://www.aikidojournal.com/encyclopedia?entryID=563 |access-date=20 July 2007|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926225632/http://www.aikidojournal.com/encyclopedia?entryID=563 |archive-date=26 September 2007}}</ref> Yukiyoshi Sagawa received the ''kyoju dairi'' in 1932—but did not receive the ''[[menkyo kaiden]]'' (certificate of mastery) of the system's secrets, as during the time he practised under Takeda Sokaku, the highest licence was not the ''menkyo kaiden''. Sagawa often served as a teaching assistant to Takeda and traveled with him to various locations in Japan teaching Daito-ryu. He further developed the art of applying Aiki and is said to have remained powerful until very late in life, and – as a consequence of the success of ''Transparent Power'' – was featured in a series of articles in the Aiki News magazines prior to his death in 1998.<ref name="Pranin-Sagawa"/> Tatsuo Kimura (木村 達雄 ''Kimura Tatsuo'', born 1947), a former mathematics professor at the [[University of Tsukuba]] and a senior student of Sagawa, ran a small ''aiki-jūjutsu'' study group at that institution. He retired from his professorship there in June 2013, and has retired from public instruction of Daito Ryu. He now privately instructs a small group of students. He has written two books about his training under Sagawa: ''Transparent Power'' and ''Discovering Aiki''.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Wollos |first=Paul |title=Report on Sagawa-ha Daito-ryu Aikibujutsu |journal=Aikido Journal |url=http://www.aikidojournal.com/article.php?articleID=242 |access-date=20 July 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013161512/http://www.aikidojournal.com/article.php?articleID=242 |archive-date=13 October 2007}}</ref>
