Morihiro Saito, 9th dan, is one of aikido's most highly-acclaimed teachers with more than fifty years of experience in the art. He was one of the founder's closest students and currently operates Ueshiba's country dojo in Iwama while serving as guardian of the Aiki Shrine. Saito is well-known internationally due to his numerous techniqcal works and frequent instructional tours that have taken him to more than twenty countries.

Sonoko Tanaka is a black-belt student of Saito Sensei and currently lives and trains in Iwama. Stanley Pranin is a 5th degree black belt and the editor-in-chief of Aiki News/Aikido Journal, which he founded in 1974.

Saito began his aikido training under the founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, in Iwama in 1946 after having practiced some kendo, judo and karate. Although other students such as Koichi Tohei trained with Ueshiba for more years than Saito did, Saito's work allowed him to train almost as an uchideshi, for long periods as the only student. From 1946 until Ueshiba’s passing in 1969, Saito served as Ueshiba's assistant in a variety of ways at Iwama while his wife served Mrs. Ueshiba. During Saito’s period as a deshi he taught classes in the Iwama dojo. Before his death Ueshiba gave Morihiro Saito the responsibility of carrying on the teaching at the Iwama dojo and also the position of caretaker of the Aiki Jinja located in Iwama.
