Azato shows up as being mentioned by a number of people---hard to do if he never exsisted.
By the sam etoken very little information exsist as to exactly what he taught and how it looked comapred to others.
I seem to recall some speculation that Azto went with the last King of Okinawa when he moved to Japan, also recall something about his son/grandson even being interviewed.
PLEASE don't quote me on that---I don't recall where I read it--sorry.
One of the things that irks me about Okinawan arts is that there seem to have been a number of people that were highly respected martial artists yet didn't teach--or only taught a very few people so their skills/training are more or less lost.
Some of their kata got handed down but without the context of the art they practiced.
