According to his autobiographical work: Karate Gojū-ryū by the Cat Tokyo, Japan (1963), Gōgen Yamaguchi was born on January 20 in 1909 in Miyakonojō Shonai, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, near Kagoshima City on the island of Kyūshū. In his 5th year of primary school Yamaguchi commenced his karate-dō training under the guidance of Takeo Maruta, a carpenter joiner from Okinawa. Maruta was a Gōjū-ryū practitioner.
Mr. R.K. Krishna started his schooling from Gurukul Ashram (An Ancient Indian way of schooling). There he learned YOGA and became proficient in it "YOGA" which forms the roots of Karate, got rooted in him at the earlier age itself. His father was a wrestler, so he started his child R.K. Krishna along with him to the gym sowing the seeds of exercise and Martial arts in him. During his schooling, it was the height when he was the only selected candidate in the entire gurukul Ashram to demonstrate the YOGA exercises before the then President of India Late Mr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed.

Krishna's Performance he was so impressed that he immediately took him under his own training and called him to Madras for further special intensive training.
