Baggrund
Udviklet af
Kanga Sakugawa (1733 – 1815) også kaldet “Tōde” Sakugawa (Tōde i betydning af “Kinesisk hånd”).
Efter at have trænet i 6 år under munken Peichin Takahara. blev Sakugawa opfordret af sin lærer til at træne under Kusanku (kinesisk navn: Kwang Shang Fu), en kinesisk mester i Ch’uan Fa. Sakugawa trænede i yderligere 6 år med Kusanku og begyndte at udbrede hvad han havde lært til Ryūkyū i 1762.
Japansk titel med kanji
公相君大
Betydning
Også kaldet Kūshankū, Kūsankū eller Kankū-dai (観空大). Kataen er dermed opkaldt efter Sakugawa’s kinesiske mester.
Funakoshi Gichin omdøbte i 1930’erne kataen til det Japanske Kankū (overst som: “gazing heavenward, viewing the sky”, eller “contemplating the sky”).
Historie
Kūsankū blev sendt til Ryukyu omkring 1756 som en ambassadør for Qing Dynastiet. Han boede i landsbyen Kumemura, tæt på Naha.
Efter Kūsankū’s død (omkring 1762), udviklede og navngav Sakugawa Kusanku kata til ære for sin mester.
Kosukun kataen praktiseres i de fleste karate ryu-ha og i flere forskellige versioner.
Anko Itosu udviklede Kosokun-sho (kort, eller mindre version) og derudover formaliserede han også den oprindelige form Kosokun-dai.
Kataen Shiho Kosokun attribueres af kilder også til Anko Itosu men andre kilder nævner at kataen er udviklet af Kenwa Mabuni, som udviklede denne variant for at kunne træne Kosokun Dai i hans oprindelige lille og aflange dojo.
Herudover eksisterer Chibana Kushanku varianten opkaldt efter Chibana Choshin, 1885-1969) og Chatan Yara Kushanku, opkaldt efter Chatan Yara (også kendt som Yara Guwa, Ueekata, and Yomitan Yara, 1668–1756). Yara er også kendt for at være Paichin Takaharas sensei.
NOTE (Kasper): Hvis de forskellige ovenstående årstal passer må Chatan Yara Kusanku være tillært og vidergivet inden/samtidig med at Kusanku kom til Okinawa (Yara dør i 1756 hvilket også er året hvor Kusanku ankommer til Okinawa).
