Dates

Matsumura was apparently 7 years old when he was taken into the service of the Okinawan king, and 9 years old when he was married. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.228.216.131 (talk) 09:11, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should Chinto simply be referred to as Annan in the infobox?

It seems improper to include multiple names for one individual in the infobox. The article Chinto is about Annan. There is no article on wikipedia entitled Annan. Opinions? User5802 (talk) 05:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When I read the reference, it seems that 'Chinto' is the name of a kata and 'Annan' is the name of a person. It would seem that only 'Annan' should be in the info box as teacher. I will check some books this weekend for additional references. jmcw (talk) 10:37, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I've found the same thing, however as with most of the names from this far back it is hard to tell what the TRUE name is. I propose leaving the text "Annan", removing the text "Chinto", and making the text "Annan" redirect to the "Chinto" article. Phew! Confusing! User5802 (talk) 02:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- - According to a number of historical references that I have read on the subject, the Kata Chinto was named after a Chinese trader (of the same name) who demonstrated the moves contained in that form during a visit to Okinawa. I don't know if this is oral history alone, or not, but there does seem to be consistency. Burns MacDonald 12:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
