Life

Panel by Alfredo Storni featuring capoeirista Ciríaco defeating jujitsu fighter Sada Miyako with a rabo de arraia kick, O Malho, 1909.

In 1908 he and M. Kakihara were tasked to teach Japanese Jiujitsu to Brazilian sailors.[3] This predates the arrival of Konde Koma by six years.[3] The purpose of his instruction was to enable practitioners to suppress their adversaries.[3]

He engaged in an the famous vale tudo fight between himself and capoeirista Francisco da Silva Ciríaco in which he was knocked out.[4] This fight was in 1909[5] and was witnessed by Agenor Moreira Sampaio.[6] This match was a demonstration of the early rivalry between Capoeira and Jiujitsu.[7] It was as a result of this loss that Jiujitsu faced a steep decline in Brazil.[8] One of his students was Mario Aleixo.[5]

Journalism

In 1919 he purchased a newspaper and became its president.[2] Miyaku was eventually expelled from Brazil as a result of his anti authority stances.[9]
