The original name of the organization KoKoDo Kyu Shin Kai means "School of understanding the heart of KoKoDo".
It was founded in 2005 in Belgium by three of the highest ranked representatives of this style and since then has enjoyed a steadily growing number of satisfied members.

Sensei Belmans was the first Shihan under Soke Irie. He supervises most clubs of this organisation in Europe and teaches regularly at international seminars. In 2006 he received the title of Kogyoku. In 2015 he received the title of Kyoshi and in 2017 the title of Hanshi.

Sensei Melotte received the title of Kyoshi in 2017 and Sensei Beynaerts received the title of Kyoshi in 2018.

Since April 2026 there are a few updates.

The organization changes its name officially to Daiko Kyu Shin Kai.

Daiko means "radiant light". The intention of the change of names is to preserve and honour the original techniques of Soke Iries KoKoDo Ju Jutsu. These techniques are mostly known only to the eldest Shihans under Soke Irie.

Sensei Ivo Belmans received the highest title of So-Hanshi. Sensei Erik Melotte and Sensei Etienne Beynaerts received the title of Hanshi.

Sensei Luc Castel from Toulouse in France also received the title of Hanshi.
Sensei Ivan Micheaux and Sensei Danny Currinckx from Belgium received the title of Kyoshi.
