In Eiroku 13 (1570) In Tohoku at Funakata mountain a monk by the name of Unryu who was an expert in Tai-jutsu, Bo-jutsu and Shuriken-jutsu passed on everything to the next generation head Ito
Ki-I No Kami Suketada who was also a specialist with the Yari (spear) and Naginata. His school was called Kenko Ryu. He taught everything to Takage Oriemon Shigenobu who in 1645 started his
own school, the "Takage Yoshin Ryu."
Oriemon gave the next Grand mastership to Takage Umanosuke Shigesada in 1671. He taught the school as Takage Yoshin Ryu Dakentai-jutsu, Bo-jutsu, So-jutsu, Naginata-jutsu and Senban Nage. His
son, Gennoshin Hideshige changed the name to "Takage Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu". A special guest at Gennoshin's dojo was Ohkuni Onihei Shigenobu who was the next generation Grand master of Kukishin
Ryu. He also received a Grand mastership from Gennoshin who died in 1702 so he became the fourth generation Grand master of both schools. He called these schools "Hontai Takage Yoshin
Ryu" and "Hontai Kukishin Ryu."
