According to the"official" list of competitors (in the mag Volume 11) their was 207 fighters and 2 from Philippines.
Sumarago was in Block A number 22 & Leonar was in block C #138...
That is the best I can do, if their was a change in the fighters and it was not updated in the list of fighters in the mag (which was published after the tourney) I don't know???

Amazing that you could pull up that info spirit!

Guess it goes to show the power of print media over electronic media!!! Google didn't get past the top 10 in my searches for the same info!

Got it from the Magazine we use to get from the Honbu, no biggie.
Not like I remembered it or anything, can even remember what day or anything, thought it was Sunday?
Dam its Monday!!!

thanks again Spirit for the info,i don't know if i am only mistaken coz my sensie Rosalio Melchor was one of the delegate of the Kyokushinkaikan Philippines during that time, i also see his name in some of the documents and magazine but i just want to make it sure if it was 1987...but if there is any way i can verify this somehow hope you may lend me a ahand again!!thanks!!

Matsui is the last fighter listed in the right hand column (the one with Midori at the top).

Martin edited afterwards - the last 4 on each side were missing - honest Guv.

it might be intersting to see where they all are now 20 years on - I feel a new thread coming on.
