Shoring Ryu Kata Requirements

[patusai]

I just read "The Essence of Okinawan Karate-Do" by Shoshin Nagamine. My question is that the book states that after 3 years of traiing in the forms and there are 18 of them. Can anyone tell me what kata in Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu are require for both Kyu and Dan rank or are all 18 required for Shodan?

I'm not completely sure, because the requirement changed from when I became a shodan to when I went back to the dojo. But here's my shodan requirement, as far as I know:

Taekyoku 1-5, Saishan, Pasai. I think nihanchi 1-3 are required for nidan, but I could be wrong.

[P.A.L]

first 14 katas goes to shodan , last 4 are nidan and higher, bare in mind that Nagamine wanted his students practice each kata at least for 3 years and 10 years for kusanku.
