Absolutely!
Song Mu Kwan, founder Byung Jik Ro, was a student of Funakoshi.
Oh Do Kwan founder, Choi Hong Hi, was a student of Funakoshi
I've heard two stories about the Ji Do Kwan founder being a student of either Funakoshi or Mabuni. (My money's on Funakoshi)
Chang Mu Kwan's founder, Byung In Yoon, was a student of Toyama.
Bottom line though, is that the most solid line for the introduction of the Pinan forms to Korea was via these students of Japanese instructors. IOW, the Shotokan.
