Tokitsu has also written a scholarly work about the legendary swordsman Musashi Miyamoto.
A practitioner of Shotokan karate since youth, in 1984 Tokitsu started his own school, the Shaolin-mon ("door to Shaolin", compare the Mumonkan) school in Paris, where he had taught Shotokan karate since 1971.
[1] The Shaolin-mon teachings were a hybrid of Tokitsu's dissatisfaction with Shotokan karate combined with what he learned of Chinese martial arts.
He was interviewed for his thoughts on Japanese culture in Chris Marker's 1996 documentary film Level Five.
