I was always taught that the Rohai kata emerged from Tomari, and later transmitted to Shuri through Itosu, who had learned it, and created the Rohai Sho Dan, Ni Dan and San Dan based on his study of the original(as Itosu did with most the kata he learned). Lately I've looked at the Shitokai, as well as some other styles refer to the kata as Matsumura Rohai, or Matsumura no Rohai.

Plus you can search "Matsumura Rohai" and see many more links ome up for it.
Which is the real correct name? In my honest opinion, I say it is known by the name Matsumora no Rohai, or by Tomari no Rohai. Let me see what everyone else says....
