I first saw Fusei Kise at a tournament in Allentown, Pa. back in 1979. I had seen few Okinawan instructors at that time. I was astonished how his performance resembled the Isshinryu Kusanku, of course it was also quite different.

Now Kise was a student of Hohan Soken, though later he broke away, incorporating other kata and forming his own association.
