Notes	Between 1990 and 1999 there was a legal dispute between two groups claiming to be the official JKA - the Nakahara faction and the Matsuno faction. Before the dispute was settled in favour of the Nakahara faction both groups held world championships under the banner of the JKA. The results of the JKA (Matsuno faction) world championships are not detailed above.
