Gichin Funakoshi is the founder of Shotokan Karate-Do, perhaps the most widely known style of karate, and is attributed as being the "father of modern karate". Following the teachings of Anko Itosu, he introduced karate to the Japanese mainland in 1922 and became honorary head of the Japan Karate Association in 1949.
Shotokan is named after Funakoshi's pen name, Shoto ("waving pines"). An avid poet and philosopher who meditated in the forest, he codified the Dojo Kun and Niju Kun.
