Question 020: Chito ryu

I was reading on your site and noticed something that did not seem correct, the biggest being that Chito ryu was named after its founder. Chito ryu refers to the lineage of karate coming from Chinas tang dynasty 1000 years ago which is something Chitose sensei was told by Aragaki sensei. Chi=1000, To=tang as in the tang dynasty, Ryu= style together it becomes 1000 year china style.
