Don't have books here, so just some citations from aikido journal:
"Masakatsu Nakai 中井正勝
Middle school teacher in Sakai, Osaka.
Teacher of Yagyu Shingan-ryu Jujutsu with whom Morihei UESHIBA studied ... "
"The technical content of this school is unknown but certainly included jujutsu techniques and the study of various weapons. Records are unclear as to whether Ueshiba's direct teacher was Masanosuke Tsuboi or Masakatsu NAKAI. "
"Receives Yagyu-ryu
Jujutsu certificate ..."
