His uncle taught him a style of kenjutsu Kodenjuhatto and called the young man soon became very good, he decided to travel to Japan to attend other dojo and learn other styles. He learned then
other ways to use the sword including the Hayashizaki Ryu, the school founded by Hayashizaki Shigenobu Jinsuk, today considered the first example of a school of Iaido. Tojiro became one of the most experienced students of the master Hayashizaki but not yet satisfied with his level of understanding of the way of the sword, he decided to seek the help of the gods. He retired in
Atago Jinja temple for seven days and seven nights to pray, when last night he had a particular dream: he dreamed of the kanji "Kan" which means "pass through" and immediately attained enlightenment. He decided to encode all of his experience in a school called Ikkan Ryu.
In this school teaching is central Hokoyamu not called me, which means "the technique of stop arms." The spirit of
Hokoyamu not have reflected the essence of the martial virtues in which the technique is used to end the fighting and restore peace. The characters make up the Hoko and Yamu kanji "bu", which is understood as the concept of martial discipline and ethics training. The
Ikkan Ryu was soon attracting many famous warriors who are fascinated by the teaching dell'Hokoyamu no ho. Katayama was also the master teacher of the Toyotomi family, which ruled Japan at that time, until it was destroyed by Oda Nubunaga. Camera

Once a court was invited to show his style and to explain his research dell'Hokoyamu no ho. The master Katayama demonstrated the technique he called Iso no nami and the Emperor was so well impressed that he decided to give him permission to spread throughout Japan and in school, so that they could devote themselves fully to teaching, gave him the title of Jugoige Hoki no Kami, and with it, the Hoki country, in which the annuity would have been living.
Master Katayama, who meanwhile had changed his first name in Tojiro Hisayasu, was moved to the interests of the empire and in his honor changed its name in Ikkan Ryu Hoki Ryu, a name that has remained unchanged to this day . Katayama Hoki no Kami Hisayasu died in 1650 at age 74.
One of his sons, Hisataka inherited the school and another, Hisakatsu moved to Kyoto where he founded his own school.
The Hoki Ryu continued to be passed through the family for 8 generations Katayama, until this current school did not die. However, in the area of \u200b\u200bKumamoto on the island of Kyushu, the Hoki Ryu continued to be transmitted to the work of Hoshino Kakuemon that at the end of 1700, assumed the role of leader. In this city, the interest in this style was very much alive and that's where he studied the master Nakazono Yoshio which, in turn, led to the Hoki Ryu in the city of Kurume, where he studied the master Kumai.
