Kappa-ryu is a swordsmanship style used by the samurai Kawamatsu. As noted by Raizo and Kikunojo, this style is Kawamatsu signature fighting style, despite the latter being a sumo wrestler.[1]

Overview

According to Kawamatsu, fighting against the Kappa-ryu is like trying to swim against raging waters. When wielding his Soto Muso, Kawamatsu was able to blow away several men charging against him, taking them down with a single blow.[1]
