Any ideas fella's? Would have been obtained in person by the original collector in the Los Angeles area in 1964. I am still in contact with the original collector, and he doesn't remember who it was.

1st person that came to mind for me was obviously Fighting Harada. Sig is dated March 30th, 1964. Harada fought in Los Angeles in July of 1964. His previous fight before that was February in Japan...so he has a time lapse in he record where he could have been anywhere, though that's a long time for him to be hanging around in the States between fights.

Sig doesn't look like any of the Fighting Harada sigs I have seen, but I only see Autographs from modern signings. Nothing from that era. I'm not fluent enough in Japanese to make sense of the lettering, and the Google Photo Translation tool isn't any help with the handwriting.

I'm pretty sure other Japanese fighters came over during that similar time period, but can't line anybody else up right now.
