Formerly the Shoto World Cup, it is considered to be the successor of the IAKF World Championiships, first held in 1975. The tournament is named after Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan karate, and features elite karatekas from around the globe competing in kata (forms) and kumite (sparring).
