 However, at this time, Shiro Saigo was still alive and it is more probable that Tanomo Saigo, who only died 7-years later, did not appoint a successor at all, being that according to traditionmal protocol, his son Shiro would have automatically been the new Soke of the system upon the death of his father.
What must never be forgotten is that Sogaku Takeda mastered the principles of the old koryu of the Aizu and Minamoto clans under Tanomo Saigo, and the techniques he later taught surely demonstrated the soundness of these principles, thus ensuring the very survival of Daito-Ryu into the modern times.
Saigo Ha Daito-Ryu supports the daughters of Tokimune Takeda as the new heads of family for his art, and is thankful that Sogaku Takeda made such a grat contribution to the very survival of Daito-Ryu in his lifetime

 Saigo Tsugumichi information - Search.com
Saigō Tsugumichi (西郷従道, properly Saigō Jūdō) (1 June1843–18 July1902) was a Meiji-period politician and military officer who got his start in the latter part of the Edo period.
The name "Tsugumichi" arose as an alternate, and—to the Japanese—more natural-sounding, pronunciation for the characters of his name: 従道.
Although he was said to be as kind-hearted and generous as his brother Takamori and his cousin Ōyama Iwao, after the Ōtsu Incident—which occurred while he was working as Minister of Internal Affairs—he pushed for the death penalty of Tsuda Sanzō and threatened Kojima Korekata.
