 | | This kata is called Urasoe no Kon in Taira's syllabus, and can be found in Inoue's series. |
| | Urasoe is the standard Japanese pronunciation of the name whereas Urashi is the old Okinawan pronunciation. |
| | According to Nakamoto (1983) Taira supposedly learned this kata from Mabuni Kenwa (1889-1952), founder of Shitoryu, which went on to become one of the "big four" styles of modern Japanese karatedo. |
