@MeanEyedCat I looked in to it your right a high ranked master mistakenly called what was known as gojuishihi sho he called it dia and because of his rank nobody want to call him out on it
@robman1126 This is what most people now call gojushiho dai, which used to be called gojushiho sho. You have to admit that it makes way more sense that way.
The legend is that (due to politics) one guy was slated to win a tournament. He called his gojushiho by the wrong name, but they had to let him win, so they ignored it. Everyone else followed suit (except Nishiyama and Kanazawa).
This man is a kata master. He always ends up where he started just perfectly. I have a really hard time with that even in basic kata.

Probably false, but funny story anyway.

@michide72 I totally agree, he has the names changed. Minor and Greater have been Swapped around.

I meant, that he switched the names. In his thinking the dai version was the sho and vice versa. The katas itself remained unchanged.
