Shibucho
0
A Shibucho is the head of a Shibu (Division) registered with the Dai Nihon Iaido Renmei. A Shibucho is in charge of the regular training and the administration of their own dojo and, if applicable, other dojos that fit into their Shibu. A person must be of the rank of 6th Dan to be a Shibucho, but they are permitted to take this on at 5th Dan provided they work closely with the Kancho to ensure that the standards of training are met. By default, a Shibucho is also a Member of the Executive board of the Renmei, and is expected to attend the yearly AGM in Kyoto in May each year.
