      Confirmed
      EN Wikipedia states Nakamura practiced with Shoshin Nagamine and was senior instructor at Nagamine's honbu dojo for a number of years; corroborated by Katherine Loukopoulos's first-person account of Nakamura teaching at the Kumoji honbu from 1982 through the 1990s
      The evidence establishes the claim: it is sufficient and consistent, and any conflicting evidence is resolved.

      Probable
      EN Wikipedia states Shinzato studied under Seigi Nakamura, who the Nakamura article names as one of the developers of the Kishaba Juku
      The evidence favours the claim and nothing credible contradicts it, but it falls short of establishing it.
