This kata is another illustration of a derivation of mostly Itosu gojūshiho. There are certain movements in gojūshiho [dai] and gojūshiho [shō] which, put together, would show Itosu gojūshiho (ūsēshi) more purely. Far fewer movements are purely Matsumura gojūshiho (ūsēshi), though the methods of movement are largely the same. It is evident upon comparison that Funakoshi gojūshiho [dai] was influenced by Tōyama (Oyadomari) koryū gojūshiho which is a version of Itosu gojūshiho. Funakoshi gojūshiho [shō] was influenced by Mabuni-Itosu gojūshiho. This, however, for each, only goes for certain techniques at certain points. Tōyama and Mabuni were also taught by students of Master Sōkon Matsumura, but their gojūshiho kata seem to be at least principally, if not entirely, from Master Itosu (Shishū). Master Funakoshi's gojūshiho are clearly his versions, taught to him by Masters Asato, Itosu, Matsumura and maybe other teachers he noted, and then influenced by Masters Tōyama and Mabuni.
