Chotoku Kyan (2nd from left, 1941).
It later developed further through a process of systematization into 'Modern Karate', which actually had a lot to do with the efforts of the men known as the Chuko no so (The Revivers), including Sokon Matsumura (1828-1898) of the Shuri-te style, Kosaku Matsumora (1829-1898) of the Tomari-te style and Kanryo Higaonna (1853-1915) of the Naha-te style.
In 1908, 'The 10 Articles of Karate prepared by Anko Itosu were submitted to the Educational Affairs Section of Okinawa Prefecture. After that, karate started being introduced into the school gymnastics curriculum, thus acquiring broad accessibility, in contrast to the previously secret principles of Isshi-soden (the complete transmission of a ryu's techniques only to your heir).
Group training at Okinawa Prefecture 2nd Junior High School, 1937 (Instructor: Juhatsu Kyoda)
Group training at Shuri City 1st Elementary School, 1937 (Instructor: Shinpan Shiroma)
Back in the early 20th century, karate began to be introduced throughout Japan by several master, including Gichin Funakoshi (1871-1954, Founder of Shotokan-ryu), Kenwa Mabuni (1891-1952, Founder of Shito-ryu;), Kanbun Uechi (1877-1948, Founder of Uechi-ryu) and Chojun Miyagi (1888-1953, Founder of Goju-ryu). Also throughout Okinawa, karate was taught by masters such as Chotoku Kyan (1870-1945), Choki Motobu (1870-1941) and Choshin Chibana (1885-1969, Founder of Shorin-ryu).
It has been said that the original name of Todi was changed to the name 'Karate' (empty hand) around this time.
Karate began spreading around the world after the war. The biggest contributors were the many emigrants who went to live abroad full of ambition, and the U.S. military personnel occupying Japan at the time.
In 1969, Karate-ka were invited from Okinawa to give a demonstration at the 1st All Japan Karate Championship Tournament held at the Nihon Budokan in Tokyo. Then in 1984, Tsuguo Sakumoto (Ryuei-ryu) won the Men's Division of the 7th World Karate-do Championship, held in the Netherlands. In 1987, Okinawa Karate achieved both Men's & Women's overall victories in the Karate-do Division of the 42nd National Sports Festival (the Autumn Session, known as Kaiho-Kokutai) .
