Chojiro Tani (1920 - 1998) who is notable for founding the Shukokai style of karate in 1949.

Tani started his formal karate training under the founder of the Goju-ryu style, Miyagi Chojun while a student at the Doshisha University in Kyoto. After a few years, Miyagi Chojun returned to Okinawa and the founder of Shito-ryu, Kenwa Mabuni took over the teaching. Upon graduating from university, Tani began learning Shuri-te and then Shito-ryu from Mabuni as well. After many years of training under Mabuni and becoming one of his most senior students, Tani received the certifcate of succession from him and became the head of Shito-ryu, enabling him to use the name Tani-ha Shitoryu.
