| USUI Mikao Sensei (1865-1926) Founder, Usui Reiki Ryoho |
- Reiki Ryoho (healing method) is to channel the energy of the universe and an inspired healing art of Usui Sensei, NOT the outcome of his researches, or discovery, or re-discovery.
- USUI Mikao Sensei was from beginning to end a lay Buddhist.
- HAYASHI Chujiro Sensei (1879-1940) was one of the directors of Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. He made 13 Shihans (Teachers), and two of them were women, namely his wife, Mrs. Hayashi Chie, and Mrs. Hawayo Takata.
- Mrs. Hawayo Takata (1900-1980) was visited by Hayashi Sensei in 1938 and initiated her into Shinpiden (Reiki Shihan or Teacher)
- It is REIKI that does a fine job of healing, not YOU. (You as a Reiki practitioner do not do any healing, but you are very essential for Reiki healing).
- HAND POSITIONS: serves as guidelines. Later, students can have their own variations of hand positions. Eventually, we just follow our hands/intuitions.
Traditionally, there are no set hand positions except some positions on the head.
- Usui Sensei, the founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho, created the Gokai (the 5 principles based on the phrase in the opening page of a book "Kenzon no Genri" written by Dr. Suzuki Bizan (published in December 28, 1914).
Today only

Hyakuten Inamoto Sensei is the founder of 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. Inamoto Sensei learned Reiki from Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi who had trained with Chujiro Hayashi, one of Usui Sensei’s original students.
