` : No, it's not wrong. References are provided. One can find the kanji in the scrolls and documents of the Kuki family and within many, many reference books here in Japan; but very few in English. Kanji Daijiten also list the kanji, and also lists it as arcaic, but not wrong. The reference to the 9 demons comes from Hontai Yoshin Ryu, which does not have any scrolls that back it up pre-dating the ones found regarding the Kuki family and the correct writing of thier name. Also, the ``lineage`` that was posted on here was in fact the Hontai Yoshin Ryu lineage, not the Kukishin Ryu lineage.  If we mention ``Minaki den`` then we have to mention the rest. Why should we clutter this page up and why should they not have their own Wiki pages? This is supposed to be a general overview of Kukishin Ryu, not on any of the branches.  :)   `
