The style I am in now, no clue. But when I did TSD, I can trace it back to Kwang Kee (Tang Soo Do founder). But my current instructor has "juice" on this style (TKD). I got a little from her, but not enough.

The man who founded Shito-Ryu was Kenwa Mabuni. Mabuni studied Karate with Itosu(Shorin-Ryu) than later with Higaonna(Goju-Ryu) He also studied Kobudo under Aragaki where he learned to use Bo, Sai, Tonfas, Nunchaku, Nichokama, Kusari-Kama, Nunte, and Tempe. Blending the methods of Shorin and Gojo, he came up with what he called "Hanko" or "Half-Hard style. Later he changed the name to Shito deriving the name from the alternate reading of the ideograms found in the names of his former teachers "shi" for the "ito" of Itosu and "to" for the "higa" of Higaonna.

As the most senior living student of Nagamine Sensei (founder of Matsubayashi-Ryu), Taba Sensei created Shogen-Ryu ('Sho' in honor of Shoshin Nagamine and Shorin. 'Gen' meaning root or beginning) as a way to teach Nagamine Sensei's karate in the form he was originally taught.

Wow,,,

Isshin Ryu created from Shorin Ryu and Goju Ryu and some other stuff depending on who you talk to.

So Ryu, Koyasu was a student of Toyama who was a student of Itosu so I suppoe it goes back that way
