The guy kicking Nakayama looks like Kanazawa, but I'm not sure that's historically correct. I'm not sure if this was fil;med in 1946 either. Remember, Japan surrendered the same year, and Tokyo was in ruins, so the year on this video could be wrong (much later).
That's Isao Obata. Word is he left JKA because he thought the group was charging too much for instruction. It is said he taught for free when he split.
the man with nakayama is defitly Kanazawa sensei, not Obata

@Bassai oops, Japan surrendered in 1945. Still, in 1946, much of Japan was in ruins and the old Shotokan dojo was no more.
