Onyumishi Kanjuro Shibata is a 20th-generation master bowmaker and archer, and 3rd-generation "Bowmaker to the Emperor of Japan" (retired).

In 1980, at the invitation of The Venerable Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the founder of Shambhala Mountain Center, Kanjuro Shibata XX came to the United States from Japan to teach Kyudo, and together with Trungpa, founded Ryuko Kyudojo (Dragon-Tiger Kyudo Practice Hall) in Boulder, Colorado.

Since then, Shibata Sensei has traveled extensively and established Kyudojos throughout North America and Europe. In 1985, he established permanent residence in Boulder, Colorado.

Born in Kyoto, Japan in 1921, Shibata began his Kyudo training in the Heki Ryu Bishu Chikurin-ha School of Kyudo at the age of eight. At a young age he also began training in bowmaking with his grandfather, Kanjuro Shibata XIX, in the family workshop. In 1959, upon the death of Kanjuro XIX, he officially became Kanjuro Shibata XX and assumed the duties of Imperial Bowmaker.

For many years he was the master of Taiyusha Kyudojo in Kyoto, which was founded by the 18th Kanjuro Shibata in 1883.
