	Josei Toda
		Josei Toda (1900-1958) was an educator, publisher and entrepreneur who, as second president of the Soka Gakkai, revived the Sokagakkai Nichiren Buddhist organization after World War II and "restore" Nichiren Shoshu, building it into a dynamic, popular movement and building up the head Temple Taisekiji and the prestige of Nichiren Shoshu in the process.
		Toda's unshakable confidence in the power of Nichiren's philosophy and his ability to translate the profound concepts of Buddhism into practical guidance for daily life re-ignited people's hope and courage.
		Around that time, in July 10 of 1951, Josei Toda wrote his "History and Conviction of the Sokagakkai" which was essentially a recounting of his encounters with the Japanese Government and with the religious authority of his time which had been under the influence of the ideas of Chigaku Tanaka and Jimon Ogasawara.

	Soka Gakkai International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toda was later released from prison and, after World War II, re-built the organization, renaming it Sōka Gakkai to reflect the extention of its membership beyond educators only.
		Founder of Soka University, the Soka School System, the Boston Research Center for the 21st Century, and the Toda Institute for Global Peace Policy and Research, Ikeda is also the author of numerous books and has held dialogues on peace, education, and culture with numerous scholars and world leaders.
		The use of the familial term "Sensei," to refer to Ikeda (as he in turn referred to Toda, as Toda called Makiguchi, and so on) is considered to be suspicious and symbolic and further evidence that there is a "culture of personality" surrounding Ikeda.
