This goes back a long ways.
Steve Fischer a West Coast Shorin competitor had two
competition forms of Kusanku kata.
The Sun form, and the Moon form.

Victor Donald Smith Competitors at thournaments then having Cindy
Rothrock, George Michak and others to compete against, made changes to what
they were doing. In part setting the standards for kata change that still
continues today.
Doug Yates Mike Stone actually created Sun form and Moon Form!
He shared with me that he created those as part of his Black Belt Test
We run Sum Form but do not know Moon Form
Doug Yates I visited Steve at his dojo prior to his passing,
he was always a great guy RiP
