  • Monna Tadashi
    sports_martial_artsHokushin Ittō-ryū Confirmed
    Confirmed
    JA wiki (Monna Tadashi) records that from 1885 Shimoe taught at the Tobukan and Monna received his instruction, and that the two continued together at the Keishichō from 1888 (Monna 'the one who most fully inherited Shimoe's technique'); kenshi247 confirms the Tobukan instruction.
    The evidence establishes the claim: it is sufficient and consistent, and any conflicting evidence is resolved.

  • Naitō Takaharu
    sports_martial_artsHokushin Ittō-ryū Probable
    Probable
    JA wiki (Shimoe Hidetaro): explicit short instruction at Kanuma in 1884, and Shimoe placing Naitō at the Tomioka Monzen station. The Keishichō part is co-service, not explicit teaching, and no source beyond the JA wikis corroborates it - hence probable, not confirmed.
    The evidence favours the claim and nothing credible contradicts it, but it falls short of establishing it.

    “明治21年(1888年)5月9日、自身も警視庁に一等巡査として任官し、下江秀太郎の斡旋で東武館の同門である門奈正と同じ警察署に配属された。”
