It is said that on this occasion, Yoshimura conducted a man-to-man fight with Sorosuke SUGINO (杉野素郎助) who was a master swordsman in Yamato Province and slew him, but this is incorrect because, later, Sugino became a teacher of Totsukawa Bunbukan.
この時、吉村は大和国の剣の達人杉野素郎助と一騎打ちの末に討ち取ったとされるが、杉野は後に十津川文武館の教師となっているので誤りである。
