    The evidence favours the claim and nothing credible contradicts it, but it falls short of establishing it.

    Kano's own memoir states he took lessons in Kitō-ryū from Iikubo; a secondary account adds that Iikubo issued him a menkyo in October 1883; the menkyo itself is not cited
    The evidence establishes the claim: it is sufficient and consistent, and any conflicting evidence is resolved.

    “Kanō began training in Kitō-ryū with Iikubo Tsunetoshi (Kōnen). Iikubo was an expert in kata and throwing, and fond of randori. Kanō applied himself thoroughly to learning Kitō-ryū, believing Iikubo's throwing techniques in particular to be better than in the schools he had previously studied. Iikubo issued Kanō a formal jūjutsu rank and teaching credential, namely a certificate of menkyo in Kitō-ryū, dated October 1883.”
