Takamatsu Sensei inherited his 9 schools from his own teachers, Toda, Ishitani, and Mazuta, becoming SOKE for his generation

These schools were passed on, mainly to Hatsumi in 1972, and then to his successors in 2020, though there are other Takamatsu students who received the whole transmission and were Masters of these schools, as well as other students of his three teachers who became Masters in their own right - this does not concern us, as we are dealing what we refer to as Takamatsu-Den, his teachings passed down at the end of the 20th Century by his successors


Takamatsu Sensei held the following Soke titles and Densho:

1. TOGAKURE RYU NINPO - 33th Grandmaster
2. GYOKKO RYU KOSHIJUTSU - 27th Grandmaster
3. KOTO RYU KOPPOJUTSU - 17th Grandmaster
