USUI Mikao Sensei (1865-1926)
Founder, Usui Reiki Ryoho

Usui Mikao is the founder of Reiki Ryoho (healing art). He attained enlightenment, and a healing ability as a godsend was bestowed upon him in 1922 at the age of 57 while he was fasting/ meditating on Kurama-yama in Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan.
He was born on August 15,1865 in the village of Taniai- mura(village) in the Yamagata-gun (country) , Gifu-fen (perfecture) in Japan.
He is descended from Chiba Tsunetane. His father's name was Taneuji, and was commonly called Uzaemon. His mother was from the Kawai Family.
April 11, 1922
: Usui Mikao Sensei settled in Harajuku, Aoyama,Tokyo and set up the Gakkai to teach Reiki Ryoho and give treatments.
September of the 12th year (A.D.1923), there was a great earthquake and a conflagration broke out. Everywhere there were groans of pains from the wounded. Sensei, feeling pity for them, went out every morning to go around the town, and he cured and saved an innumerable number of people.
Due to his respected and far reaching reputation, many people from local districts wished to invite him. Sensei, accepting the invitations, went to Kure, and then to Hiroshima and Saga, and reached Fukuyama. Unexpectedly, he became ill and passed away there. It was March 9 of the 15th year of Taisho (A.D. 1926), aged 62.

INAMOTO Hyakuten (稲本 百天)

INAMOTO Hyakuten Sensei
Founder, Komyo Reiki Kai

Komyo Reiki Kai, the system Inamoto Sensei has created, presents Reiki as it was understood and commonly practiced in the 1930's in Japan. This system places emphasis on spiritual enfoldment through the practice of Reiki Ryoho, aiming for "satori" or enlightenment.  

Komyo Reiki Kai Motto:
Go placidly in the midst of praise or blame!  
(kissa ko) A cup of tea, a cup of enlightenment!
  • Reiki lineage is a very important part of the Reiki system, but it is not everything.
  • By lineage a Reiki practitioner is not noble. By lineage, a Reiki practitioner is not superior. 
  • By lineage, a Reiki practitioner is not ignoble. By lineage, a Reiki practitioner is not inferior.
  • By deed, a Reiki practitioner is noble. By deed, a Reiki practitioner is superior. 
  • By deed a Reiki practitioner is ignoble. By deed a Reiki practitioner is inferior.
