I think I saw one in the past, but don't remember where. If you read Japnaese, Nihon Ki-in should have a photo of him *somewhere* on their site: http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/ - from this link I was only able to find photos of either active, or recently deceased pros - Kageyama passed away in 1990 according to gobase.com.

This must be because Kageyama really put his soul into it, I believe. Quite different from some other books where some pro just signs as the author. I also read quite negative reviews in some places - people complaining that it's too much text and too little concrete learning material - too bad for them, I guess. Hi Nanny,

I've just started my fourth reading. Yes, I agree that he sometimes comes across with the finesse and subtlety of an army drill sergeant on too much sugar and caffeine. I had hoped to do a cartoon that featured him; but I was struggling to find a good photo of his face. There’s a heck of a lot to digest in Uncle Kageyama’s book. I’ve just started my fourth reading.

I should go back and re-read it again. I love his writing style and I always learn new things when I read this book. Great review. Nanny Oh, that’s one of my very special favorite books too.
