Kokan Oyadomari (親泠èÂÂå¯Â,1827âÂÂ1905) was a Ryà «kyà «an karate master, who practised the Tomari-te style of karate and also taught it.
Kokan Oyadomari was a disciple to two local masters: Kishin Teruya (1804âÂÂ1864) and Giko Uku (1800âÂÂ1850). From Teruya, Oyadomari learned Passai, Rohai, and Wanshu, and from Uku the kata Naifanchi.
Oyadomari was also a disciple of Ason and of Annan (also Ahnan or Anan). Annan was a Chinese sailor or possibly a pirate, who was a castaway from a shipwreck along the coast of Okinawa Island. Annan took refuge in the cemetery of the mountains near Tomari. There is a legend which indicates that Annan was the master who taught the kata Chinto to Sokon Matsumura.
