    “The kata builds on intellectual material conceived by Takahashi Kazuyoshi. Takahashi Kazuyoshi 高橋数良 (1885-1942), who in addition to Miyakawa Ikkan would become the jūdō head-instructor at Waseda University. Takahashi's specialty was kaeshi-waza or ura-waza (counter techniques), and he became nationally famous for his expertise in this area.”
