Shinsuke [Shin] Yatomi was one of the great slanderers and traitors in the history of Nichiren Lotus Sutra Buddhism.

Shinsuke Yatomi was born on November 29, 1961. He was leader of the SGI-USA Study Department, "Master Professor of the Soka Gakkai", and advisor to Soka Justice. He died on May 31, 2008 after a 4 year battle with lung cancer despite his "determination to defeat the devilish function of illness" and "win over anything" by virtue of his relationship as a disciple of President Daisaku Ikeda. His tireless promotion of the SGI mentor-disciple relationship ("He showed us Daisaku Ikeda Sensei in all of us" and "The mentor-disciple relationship as the prime point of the Lotus Sutra") and his teaching that the Law of Nam Myoho renge kyo is the Eternal Buddha is his legacy as one of the great slanderers and traitors in the history of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism and the cause for his falling into hell.
