Martial arts reference.?

Question

Does any one know the name of the 4'11'' tall man back the 1800 hundreds who could create a shout or stare in his attacks. I read about him once in a chess book. He suposidly defeated the man who invented judo. And was also trained in several forms of sword or staff forms(japaneese). I can't remember the book or his name. I just remember the story.

Answer 1

Bushi Matsumura?  I don't know what his height was but I believe there was a story about him defeating an opponent by his stare and kiai.
