Following a previous official statement on the KIF official website, Mr. Samokhin has continued to make public declarations that are not based on facts.

KIF and Daido-juku consider Mr. Samokhin’s behavior—including posting manipulated internal information on social media, persistently criticizing organizational decisions, and making aggressive remarks and insinuations toward fellow members—to be a violation of KIF code of ethics. Therefore, we strongly condemn these actions.

If Mr. Samokhin establishes a new organization after his resignation from KIF, the relationship between his new organization and KIF will be as stated in the previous official statement on the KIF official website.

All KIF members, regardless of their country of affiliation, must refrain from making imprudent public posts and comments on social media, as these actions may cause damage and confusion. For official KIF and Daido-juku announcements, please refer exclusively to the KIF and Daido-juku official websites. If you experience an issue, please consult with your branch chief and make every effort to resolve it locally. If the issue requires headquarters attention, please contact us directly by email, avoiding public contacts through social media.
