I remember Kuriyama. I studied at way of japan in Delano Ca. under Abe Belardo and remember meeting him and getting tested by him for a promotion. he was very well respected and had a great sense of humor as well. I was really young but he spent time visiting our dojo a lot. I remember he had a beautiful girlfriend too. I remember when he died in a car accident in the visalia area. very sad because he was in his prime.
