About the Author

Takuo Toda is the chairman of the Japan Origami Airplanes Association. Ever since he was a preschooler, Toda has dedicated his life to designing innovative paper aircraft. His signature snub-nosed airplane "Sky King" was the world record holder for many years. On December 19, 2010, he broke his own Guinness World Record for flight duration with a new "Zero Fighter" design which flew for 29.2 seconds. Both of these planes are exhibited in his own Oriplane Museum in Fukuyama City near Hiroshima, Japan. He has developed over 700 paper airplane designs and written over 30 books on the subject. When not designing and flying paper airplanes, Takuo Toda serves as the CEO of Castem, a metal parts manufacturer in Japan.
