What I know for sure

Milt,

That is a very good question. I personally do not know who all the members of the Yudanshakai are. I know some; but not all. Only the Grand Master knows the entire board. It is intentionally designed this way in order to enable members to function in their capacity as advisors to the head of the system without duress. Membership is not ensured based upon seniority or rank, but rather by the value a member proffers as a trusted advisor to the organization and head of the system. There are members throughout North America, Europe and Australia. Beyond that I can only offer that the exact composition and function of the Yudanshakai is intentionally kept somewhat vague, obscure and mysterious. It certainly makes it more interesting this way.
