The ODKS monument page (Okinawa Dento Karatedo Shinkokai) states Nakazato
studied under Kyan Chotoku from 1938 to 1943, six years and eight months,
learning the essence of Shuri-te and Tomari-te; the Shorinji-ryu Shinkokai
lineage page gives the exact dates April 1937 to December 1943; the Kiyobukan
lineage page describes Nakazato as "one of the most noted students of
Chotoku Kyan"; this corroborates the Wikidata P1066 claim
"from 1938 to 1943, he studied under Kyan Chotoku, who was known as the
"Kensei." During his unusually long training period of six years and
eight months, he learned the essence of Shuri-te and Tomari-te from Kyan Chotoku
and faithfully inherited his teachings."
