I have been researching the history of karate (lineage from koei-kan karatedo style that I'm currently training under) and this is the tree I have came up with, with notes and other points of interest I have gathered in my search.
The links above Kyoda Juhastu and Toyama Kanken apply to many systems and the link above them apply to all of karate almost (Kanryo and Anko), so many should be able to gain from this diagram and possibly help me solidify some of the links and add some more teachers.
It is a very detailed/extensive Visio diagram (exported as an jpg), that can be confusing at first, but because of the student-teacher relationship and lack of birth dates for all, it is difficult to organize. Also many "relationships" are rumors at best, but I like to keep them, and bold the lines that are confirmed or have more evidence to support them. Please take a look and link me to any additional information (or post your thoughts below) that might be additional teachers or any information on lines that are completely false.
