No need to apologize! It's great that you made that connection. It can be quite exciting when you realize the similarities between different martial arts styles. Akaza's style of martial arts may indeed have been influenced by the teaching and techniques of Karate during the Taisho era. Variations and adaptations of different martial arts styles are quite common, so it's understandable that you would notice similarities between Akaza's style and Shōrin Ryu.
