Here's some vintage footage of Ananku kata performed by Nakama Haruka [dob 1926] I'd like to share with you. Apparently filmed on the mainland of Japan [Yokosuka] and not in Okinawa as labeled.
Nakama-sensei, student of Okuhara Bunei, died on 10 Jan 2010, leaving a relative with same surname [Nakama] as his successor .

I've trained in this system for some time and we call this kata anako

it's very near the version of nakazato joen sensei even if it miss some techniques. It's sure, it's kyan sensei lineage.
sorry for my bad english

Interesting, that is almost exactly the way we do it. It is different from Matsubayashi etc.
