I thought that Shotokan meant 'house of pine waves.'  |
Shoto is actually the meaning you're thinking about. It's actually more of the sound the wind makes when it moves through the trees. Shotokan is the house where it resides.

Hmm. That is odd. I just read that yesterday and I thought it was interesting so I posted. Turns out, my book a different interpretation. Bah! |
I read that somewhere as well Syphax.
Did you know that Chuck Norris doesn't bowl strikes, he just knocks down one pin and the other nine faint.  sorry wanted to reply to Syphax but didn't have a fact.
