Hereon our Akshay Kumar might be adding a new title to his name. Katana Akshay Kumar.

Ok coming to the news… our rough-tough actor was honoured with ‘Katana’, the highest honour within Japanese, and a sixth degree Black Belt in Kuyukai Gojuryu Karate, for his contribution towards martial arts, said sources. ‘Katana’ is said to be a Samurai tradition. The ceremony was held in Mumbai today. It was graced by Shihan Hirano Osamu, the famous Grandmaster and founder of the Kuyukai International and Mehul Vora, the organiser of the first invitational National Open Karate Championship.

Excited over this achievement, Akki gushed, “It’s a privilege to be receiving this honour. Karate is a part of my soul and to be honoured with something as precious as a ‘Katana’ is something I hadn’t even dreamt of.”

Whereas according to a source from the Kuyukai organisation said that Akki has always portrayed martial arts in a good light. “Many a times, he has tried to incorporate martial stunts in his films as well, keeping the tradition alive,” added the source.

Well done, Akki!!!
