Inoue Shoji (1927-2018) studied Kitō-ryū for some time with Odaka Shigeru. He was not Sōke, but may have received Menkyo (the level below Menkyo Kaiden). However, he was probably the last practitioner of Kitō-ryū and represented it in the Nihon Kobudō Kyōkai (Japan Old Martial Arts Association).

Fukuno-ryū (福野流) is an alternative name for Ryōi Shintō-ryū (良移心当流) and this article follows a familiar, but flawed Kitō-ryū narrative that Kitō-ryū was a natural continuation of Fukuno-ryū / Ryōi Shintō-ryū.

The ‘Tsuki no Sho’ (月之抄), written by Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi (柳生 十兵衞 三厳), circa 1642, describes both the Ryōi Shintō-ryū and Kitō-ryū. This indicates that they were separate schools and if that is so, then the Kitō-ryū is a derivative school of Ryōi Shintō-ryū, rather than being a continuation of it. The existence of various lines of Ryōi Shintō-ryū, at least up to the Shōwa period in Japan, also seriously undermines this Kitō-ryū narrative.

Nonetheless, even if Kitō-ryū is not a lineal continuation of the Fukuno-ryū / Ryōi Shintō-ryū line, it was a very close relative and originally shared many of the same techniques and approaches.

“Origin
Kitō-ryū comes from the Fukuno-ryū of Masakatsu Fukuno Shichirouemon. Fukuno was born in Naniwa Settsu, and is said to have learned Kenpō from Genpin Chin at Kokushō Temple in Azabu, Edo (now Tokyo) along with Miura and Isogai. It is Masashige Terada Kanemon, a vassal of Kyogoku Tango Mamoru Takakuni, who introduced the Fukuno-ryū from Jeongan Terada Heizaemon, follows that line and is the third generation of Masakatsu Fukuno. He changed his name to Kitō-ryū.

Kitō-ryū is also named after Fukuno's gate (branch of learning), Ibaraki Sensai, and Terada called his own style Jūdō, which is said to be the first time the term Jūdō was used. However, it is generally said that Kitō-ryū was founded by Masashige Terada, the third generation from Fukuno. Kanemon first served Kyogoku Takakuni, but later served Hou Matsue. There are many disciples and many later adapts in each area. Among the disciples, Hyosuke Yoshimura, who was outstanding. Later, he was given 200 Koku (five bushels of rice) to serve the Tsuyama no Mori family in Sakushu (Okayama Prefecture).

Characteristics of style
Kitō-ryū has completed advanced throwing techniques and abandonment techniques from battlefield armour techniques. This practice was founded by Toshifusa Ibaraki, a disciple of Munenori Yagyu, with Masakatsu Fukuno Shichirouemon during the Kanei era. It is a method of Kitō-ryū jujutsu, and has been handed down by modern judo techniques. There are many abandoned techniques, and he has achieved a great achievement of putting together the technique of armour group killing as a killing technique into an excellent legal form, and the wonderful legal form is preserved in the current Kōdōkan Jūdō - Koshiki no kata (古式の形).
