Choyu Motobu (1857-1928) was an Okinawan Karate master and elder brother of karateka Choki Motobu.

Choyu Motobu was born in Akahira village in Shuri, Okinawa. His father, "Anji" (Lord) Motobu Choshin was a descendent of Prince Sho Koshin (1655-1687), the sixth son of Okinawan King Sho Shitsu (1629-1668). [ [http://shitokai.com/choyu-motobu.php Shitokai] ]

Choyu first learned the art of Te (the precursor to modern Karate), which was passed down within the Sho royal clan from father to eldest son. [ [http://shitokai.com/choyu-motobu.php Shitokai] ] He then studied Shuri-te Karate and "koryu" ("old school") Japanese martial arts under the legendary karateka Sokon Matsumura. [ [http://www.toku-kai.com/iframes/archive4.htm Toku-Kai] ] He later combined all these arts he had learned to create the Motobu-ryu style of Karate. In his final years, he was the head martial arts instructor to the last king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Sho Tai (r. 1848-1879), succeeding Matsumura in that position.
