"Shin'ichi was always aware of the importance of each moment. Victory or defeat in a battle hinges upon whether one seizes the initiative at a key moment. When it comes to encouraging friends, as well, there are crucial times when one must act. Shin'ichi was always quick to respond, taking prompt and timely action. His swiftness of response could perhaps be attributed in part to a keen sensitivity that had been honed by an intense determination to fulfill his responsibilities as Soka Gakkai president. He was driven by the thought that failing to seize the moment might result in a chance being lost forever. The importance of acting quickly was also something that he had engraved deeply in his life as a youth, when he had poured all of his energies into serving his mentor, Josei Toda, while undergoing strict training as a disciple who would shoulder the future."
