 | | Grandmaster Tanemura Tsunehisa Shoto Sensei, whose martial arts names are "Bi Koku Ryu" (Secret Black Dragon), "Ko Gyoku" (Shining Ball), "Fudo Masachika" (Immovable Righteous Man) and "Genju" was born on 28 August 1947 in Matsubushi-Machi, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. |
 | | One of Takatsuna's sons changed his name to Tanemura (to avoid retribution by the warlord) and took his family to the Matsubushi area where they remained for the last few 100 years. |
 | | His father, Sadatsune Tanemura (5th Dan Onoha Itto Ryu and 17th Family Head of a Samurai line with roots to Emperors Uda and Seiwa) and father's uncle, Kakunosuke Yamazaki (8th Dan Onoha Itto Ryu), introduced him at the age of 9 to the martial arts (Kendo, Juken-Jutsu, Nin-Jutsu and Ju-Jutsu). |
