with the creation of the museum, he wanted to
do so in the same manner that Walt Disney did
with unwavering determination, perseverance,
commitment, passion, and hope for the belief
in their grand vision. He gained first-hand ex-
perience of the vision and feeling he wanted
the museum to have as a graphic artist for Dis-
ney in the 70’s and knew he wanted to evoke
professionalism, inspiration, imagination and
awe to all that visit the museum.

Disney became the beacon for Matsuda to
create a home for the martial arts communi-
ty worldwide and designed a museum filled
with art, history, culture and tradition. Matsu-
da brings the enchantment of Disney through
preservation, celebration, and honor and is the
exclusive place in the world to do this for the
martial arts. Therefore, looking towards the fu-
ture, I hold these to be true – with the action
genre becoming hotter than ever and the muse-
um having supporters from around the globe,
Michael Matsuda will earn his rightful spot
amongst the greats!
