I'm not sure that whole styles were lost, but I'm sure there were great teachers with their own methods and outlooks on training that were lost at the end of WWII.

Yep.

1944-45 saw the passing of masters like Motobu, Funakoshi (Gigo), Hanashiro, Tokuda, and Kyan.

A couple of them never got to really formalize their knowledge into a “style”, yet their students did.

The 'founder of Shotokan' never developed a style ?

gspell68 is referring to Gichin Funakoshi's son, Gigo, and not Gichin himself.
