Sekō Higa

Higa Sekō (比嘉 世幸, 1889–1966) was a karate teacher.

One of the major disciples of Higaonna Kanryō he, together with Miyagi Chōjun helped to keep and spread the tradition of the Naha-te (latter renamed "Gōjū-ryū").

Among his students there are Izumigawa Kanki, Akamine Seiichi (creator of the "Kenshinkan)", Seikichi Toguchi (creator of the "Shoreikan") and (his son) Higa Seikichi who carried on his father's "Dojo" in Okinawa.

Miyagi Chojun is, perhaps, the most famous disciple of Higashionna, and is the official creator of the now wide practised "Gōjū-ryū" Karate-do. However, Seiko Higa was so important that Miyagi himself gave him credit in his text "Karate-do Gairyaku" (1936). Higa was, also, vice-president and president of some societies to promote Karate and specially "Gōjū-ryū", in Okinawa, like the “Gōju-ryū Shinkokai”, since 1952.
