The Wikidata P1066 claim links Hanashiro to Anko Itosu, and the EN article
frames Hanashiro as Itosu's assistant until Itosu's death in 1915 - an
assistantship that implies close tutelage but is not explicitly a
teacher-student relationship
“Hanashiro later on became Itosu's assistant and remained so until his
Itosu's death in 1915.”
