I was under the impression that "kan" refers to the hall where Shoto & his students trained. /Habj 09:30, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You are correct.

[edit] Copyright

The majority of this article (everything excluding the first paragraph and last line) is taken directly from http://www.shotokankarate.ca/gichin%20funakoshi%20sensei.htm. Before listing it on Copyright problems, I wanted to see if anyone wished to rewrite this article or had any information regarding the author of the Shotokan Karate webpage. I'll wait a couple days for a response, but if I receive none, I will list the page and most of its contents will be deleted. NymphadoraTonks | Talk 29 June 2005 00:19 (UTC)

Is the correct transcription "shoto" or "shuto"? Im leaning toward the latter.--Nightryder84 20:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

I think it's "shuto". That's how my senseis, dojo and, to my knowledge, the national JKA in my country pronounce it. Piano man 00:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually is Shoutou User:Aleg


by robzombie Deleted some things and added a extremely huge biography. For questions mail to ilja.lerner@freenet.de

The material added by user robzombie appears to be a cut and paste from http://oldweb.uwp.edu/academic/hpea/class/karate/funakoshi.html which contains copyrighted material from other web sites. I have put the version of August 31 2005, before the cut & paste, on the temp page. --Big_Iron 21:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

This entry consisted mostly of generalized information, questionable statements and Shotokan dogma. Enough well documented research is now available in English to provide for a factual article here. Funakoshi/karate debates aside, this is but one topic in karate research, and every effort should be made to keep it unbiased. RSimpson

[edit] Major Overhaul

I intend to do a major overhaul and expand this article fully in the next week or so. Any suggestions or help welcome. Angrynight 01:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selective delete and move

I have fixed the copy-and-paste move Simon123 performed. I also deleted revisions tainted by a copyvio from 212.200.196.11. --Slowking Man 13:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
