    Default Name of Ninjutsu Adept

    Hello,

    I could need some help. Do you know of a person by the name of Shimoda Takeshi 下田武 (1901-1934)? He is said to have studied Ninjutsu. But I don't have an idea what current etc.

    Best regards,

    Henning Wittwer

    My memory is a bit rusty and my notes is at home.. but from what I am able to remember, Shimoda Takeshi was one of the early student/supporter of Funakoshi Gichin (Shotokan Karate) in the 1920s. I recall reading somewhere that he is an exponent of "Nen-ryu" or something before training with Funakoshi..

    Again, my memory is not 100% reliable.

    Hello,

    you are absolutly right, and thanks for reply. What I would like to know is, however, what was his relationship to ninjutsu. Is his name known in ninjutsu circles, can he be identified in some old documents, or what current of ninjutsu did he study.

    Regrads,

    Hi Henning,

    Did you get more information about Shimoda and his relationship to Ninjutsu in the meantime?

    Kind regards,
