Hello, I know that Shotokan and Wado-ryu share a couple of katas. As their moves are a bit different, I like to know if Wado-ryu is preserving the katas as they were in Shotokan when Otsuka left Funakoshi about 1928, or if he developed the katas further, or maybe both, or if he even took older (Shotokan) versions or versions from Mabuni (so maybe they are not Shotokan based katas after all).
