About This Site
“High School Total Championships Kendo Live Commentary Archive” is a fan site that delivers the pairings and exciting matches of the Inter-High (National High School General Athletic Meet) kendo competition in the form of live commentary-style articles and vertical video commentary. It is operated by “Musashibo☆Kensen,” a kendo equipment specialist cleaning service (bougu-kensen.com).
Our sister site, “Kendo Tournament Live Commentary Archive,” uses tournament reports from the monthly magazine “Kendo Nippon” as its source. This site uses the official Inter-High pairings and quick results as its source, and we operate the sites separately based on their sources.
The Two Commentators
Commentator: Kenmochi Sho(けんもち しょう)
A passionate sports announcer who shouts with all his soul. His “It’s decided—!!” at the moment a decisive technique is executed is beyond his own control. His love for kendo is so deep that he sometimes gets more excited than the analyst.
Analyst: Dojima Gen(どうじま げん)
A calm and composed analyst and former strong player. He quietly discusses *riai* and *maai* with the skill of a craftsman, but his voice will sometimes rise with excitement at a valuable *ippon*.
Content and Policy Regarding Factual Accuracy
Pairings (participating schools, prefectures, match venues, individual competitors) are based on the pairings on the National High School General Athletic Meet Kendo Tournament Official Website. Information on each school’s history and national tournament results is only published after being verified through school websites, prefectural high school athletic federations, kendo federations, and news reports, and we clearly state the source URL for all facts. You can check which fact is based on which source in the source section of each page.
In pre-tournament preview articles, we do not write anything about the attack and defense of the matches, the wins and losses, or the rankings. They are composed only of facts that can be read from the pairings and already reported results. For player names, if the reading cannot be confirmed, we do not include *furigana*, and we only read the surname in the video audio.
The back-and-forth between the commentator and analyst is AI-generated content based on the above facts.
Disclaimer and Contact
We take great care with the reading and spelling of player and school names, but please forgive us for any errors. Please contact Kensen’s Inquiry Form for corrections or inquiries regarding publication. We will respond promptly to requests for deletion or correction from rights holders.
