Ganritsu/Negishi
Ryu and Shirai Ryu
Both these schools meet in the one person, with Tonegawa
Magoroku, 2nd headmaster of Negishi Ryu, however, who Tonegawa learned Shirai
Ryu from remains unknown.
Furthermore, who Shirai Toru learned shuriken
jutsu from is also not known, hence the line indicating shuriken jutsu
transmission not drawn earlier than Shirai Toru in the chart, although I suspect
that Itto Ryu was the vehicle in which the art was passed down.
Chishin Ryu/Takemura Ryu/Enmei Ryu (under investigation)
Yagyu Shinkage Ryu (under investigation)
Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu (under investigation)
