Who was Higaonna Kanryu?

Higaonna Kanryu was an Okinawan karateka well known for his calligraphy and Chinese studies as well as his martial arts. He learned his martial arts under Wai Shinzan and not under Ru Ru Ko as some believe. His relative Higaonna Kanryō studied under both these Chinese kung fu masters.

Because of the similarity of their names, Higaonna Kanryu and Higaonna Kanryō are frequently confused with each other.
