====Matsui Hyakutaro Munetada====

In 1888, a Menkyo Kaiden (Shingen No Maki) of Sôsuishi-ryû moved to Tôkyô and began teaching the martial arts to the Akasuka Police in Tôkyô. His name was Matsui Hyakutaro Munetada. He was born native to [[Kyûshû]], Japan in Fukuoka on February of Meiji year 1 ([[1868]]). As a boy he was fascinated with the martial arts and his family recognized this and sent him to train with his uncle Matsui Kokichi, a Shingen No Maki (similar to Menkyo Kaiden) and direct student of Sôsuishi-ryû under 11th generation inheritor Shitama Munetsuna and also a menkyo kaiden in Jigô Tenshin-ryû. In Meiji year 13 ([[1881]]) Munetada also began training in Tekiai-Hiji (one of the ryū's skill sets) and many years later, received a Shingen No Maki in Sôsuishi-ryû. In Meiji year 20 ([[1887]]), when he was 19 years old, Munetada completed the Senbondori (1000 matches) in Fukuoka. In the following year Meiji year 21 ([[1888]]), the Tôkyô Metropolitan Police Board invited Munetada a position training the officers of the Akasaka Police. He relocated to Tōkyō that year and began work immediately. In Meiji year 38 ([[1905]]), he was given "Seiren sho" (recognition of good training/work) and then was awarded "Yoshi-go" (head-instructor title) in June of Meiji year 42 ([[1909]]). He remained in his position for 30 years, until retirement. Afterwards he dedicated himself to Seifukuutsu and opened a private dôjô, the Shobukan in Fukuyoshi-cho, Akasaka to teach martial arts. The Butokukai awarded the title of Hanshi to him during May of Showa year 2 ([[1927]]). <ref>{{ja icon}} Usuki, Y. 2007. ''Matsui-ha Sôsuishi-ryû website''.
