Taken from Allen Dollar's book to mean a combination of Sensei Kanbun Uechi and Shushabu. This kata was created by Seiki Itokazu sensei and approved by Kanei Uechi sensei in approximately 1956. This kata is the next in sequence after Kanshiwa. It expands itself from Kanshiwa displaying several techniques not shown yet to the students. For example, combination techniques and the moving off the set line are different than what students has been taught throughout Sanchin and Kanshiwa. This is just a prelude to the next kata, but as the student will experience, the katas will begin to expand almost immediately.
