Banke Shinobinoden group teaches Iga and Koga ninjutsu in Japan[1]. The group is headed by Jinichi Kawakami. His top student, Yasushi Kiyomoto, is the only one teaching from the Banke Shinobinoden group[2]. Jinichi Kawakami no longer takes on new students. There are no other people teaching the art in Japan or overseas [3]. Jinichi Kawakami claims o teach the ninjutsu of the Ban Family, and has the historical proof to back up his claims, however there are still skeptics out there who would rather believe that organizations such as the Bujinkan only teach ninjutsu and have tried to deny the teachings of Soke Jinichi Kawakami. Jinichi Kawakami claims to have been taught by Masazo Ishida, who he says was one of the last remaining Ninjutsu practitioners alive.[4] However, As Thomas Dillon writes, <http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20071027td.html> "No one knows anything about Ishida. How very ninja-like."
