Sometime in the 1960s or 1970s when a high-ranking JKA instructor announced "Gojushiho-Dai" and then performed "Gojushiho-Sho" at the All-Japan Karate Championships. After this event there was a name change then original “Gojushiho-Dai” name changed to “Gojushiho-Sho” and vice versa. The name change has affected J.K.A. (Japan Karate Association) kata and still they are using the changed name instead of the original one.
Within the Shotokan Karate-do International Federation (SKIF) of Kanazawa Hirokazu, the "Dai" and "Sho" forms are kept to their original names to coincide with "Dai" meaning "Major" and "Sho" meaning "Minor". This was also because master Kanazawa was one of the highest ranked instructors and refused to change the original names.
