In this paper we consider more systematically the centralizer C(S) of the set $S = {f_a $\mid$ f_a : X \to X ; x \longmapsto x * a, a \in X}$ with respect to the semigroup End(X) of all endomorphisms of an implicative BCK-algebra X with the condition (S). We obtain a series of interesting results. The main results are stated as follows : (1) C(S) with repect to a binary operation * defined in a certain way forms a bounded implicative BCK-algebra with the condition (S). (2) X can be imbedded in C(S) such that X is an ideal of C(S)/ (3) If X is not bounded, it can be imbedded in a bounded subalgebra T of C(S) such that X is a maximal ideal of T. (4) If $X (\neq {0})$ is semisimple, C(S) is BCK-isomorphic to $\prod_{i \in I}{A_i}$ in which ${A_i}_{i \in I}$ is simple ideal family of X.
