It is my understanding that this is the "shotokan Japanified version" of Matsumura Rohai Kata. When Funakoshi travelled to Japan, he sent his son Giko back to Okinawa to learn more kata. Giko exceeded the expectations and many more than the 26 fundamental kata were discovered.
Is this Asai-Ryu,by any chance?

To all the ones who said that it doesnt exist in shotokan, don't know much about JKS, empowered2win is right, it does exist in shotokan...

meikyo nidan does exist, it was taught to my sensei by shihan kato, 8th dan shotokan. Id say it was a shotokan kata, the same way meikyo is!
