Hanko-Ryu Karate-DoHistory

Shito-ryu is one of the four major styles of Karate, recognised by the World KarateFederation. It was founded by Kenwa Mabuni (1889-1952), an Okinawan borndescended from the so-called “Bushi” (warrior) class. During his time, the martialarts (Okinawan-te) was known according to the village where it was practiced: Shuri-te (the hand of Shuri), Naha-te and Tomari-te. Mabuni learned Shuri-te from AnkohItosu (1830-1915) who was a student of Sokon Matsumura (1792-1887), forefather ofShorin-ryu, and Naha-te from Kanryu Higashionna (1853-1915) who mainly studiedKempo in China’s Fukien province under Liu Liu Kung. Mabuni also learned severalempty hand Katas and Kobudo (weapon) katas from Arakaki (1840-1918) and somewhite crane Kung Fu forms from Woo Yin Gue, a Chinese tea Mechant in Okinawa.

This emblem has been the family crest for many centuries. The circle can beinterpreted as symbolising peace and harmony (Wa), while the two inner verticallines and two horizontal lines represent the Japanese calligraphy for the word‘person’ or ‘people’. The emblem therefore symbolises ‘people working in Peace andHarmony’. Because Kenwa Mabuni sensei was greatly influenced by his two mainteachers in the development of his Karate, he also included the interpretation of theinterior lines to represent his two main teachers – ITOSU ANKO and HIGASHIONNAKANRYU.

Shito-Ryu founder Kenwa Mabuni (seated middle). Among others are Shotokan Founder Master Funakoshi (far left) and

Kenei Mabuni (far right), eldest son 13 years old.

After Gichin Funakoshi introduced “Karate” in Japan in 1922, Kenwa Mabuni as apolice officer travelled several times in Japan and tried to spread his knowledge ofOkinawa-te in Japan. Finally he moved to Osaka, Japan in 1928 and started to teachKarate in Japan when Butokukai (then the governing body for martial arts in Japan)started registration for all karate school and Master Mabuni named his style asHanko-ryu (half-hard style) which he later in 1930’s changed to “Shito-ryu” in honourof his two foremost teachers Itosu and Higashionna (the first Kanzi character in‘Itosu’ sounds like ‘Shi’ and that in ‘Higashionna’ sounds like ‘to’, ‘ryu’ stands for‘style’ or ‘school’).

It may be noted that Ankoh Itosu and Kanryu Higashionna are the two mostimportant names in the History of modern Karate-do. Shotokan founder, GichinFunakoshi (1886-1957) was a student of Itosu, also, the Goju-ryu founder ChojunMiagi (1888-1953) was a student of Kenryu Higashionna. Hironori Ohtsuka (1892-1982), founder of Wado-Ryu studied Shotokan under Master Funakoshi.

Master Mabuni died aged 64 in Osaka, Japan in May, 1952.
