Shoji Seki Shihan was born on 6 March 1950 in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. While he was a student in a Musashi Institute of Technology in Tokyo a group of the aikidokas was giving a demonstration and in 1969 Shoji joined.

He was a 2nd Dan already when, in 1973, he was admitted as an assistant instructor at Hombu Dojo. He has been dealing professionally with Aikido since then.

Today he has become one of the main instructors at Hombu Dojo. He leads general classes, classes for the beginners and is one of the closest partners of Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba. He also directs in the other Aikido clubs and universities, gives the seminars all over the world in the countries like Israel, Russia, USA, France, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Indonesia, Poland and others.
