Kamezo Miyao was born about 1500 in Tosa Province (now Kochi Prefecture), Japan.
It is said that some fishermen who drifted to Tosa from Kii Province (Wakayama Prefecture) taught him the art (about 1500). Later Sanosuke, a descendant of his, improved the process during the Empo Era from 1673 to 1680, by making it boneless, shiny and conditioning it for long preservation.
