    Default Kyoda Source

    Just noticed this thread and apologize for the extreme delay in replying. My source for the photo not being of Kyoda and Funakoshi is from Kanzaki Shigekazu sensei. When I showed the photo to him, he was quite adamant that it was not Kyoda.

    Personally, if we take a look at the age of both men in that photo, Funakoshi appears quite a bit younger that "Kyoda". Funakoshi was born in 1868 versus Kyoda who was born in 1887 - an almost 20 year age difference. One other point is that Funakoshi is wearing his Prussian inspired school uniform while the "Kyoda" figure is wearing suit.

    Kindest regards,
