Pinan Godan is the fith kata in the Wado Syllabus, Godan meaning level four and "Pinan" being (more recently) translated as "Safe from harm) rather than the older translation peaceful mind.

The original Pinan Series was develpoed by Anko Itosu in the 1890s and adopted into Wado Ryu by Otsuka Sensei on forming Wado Ryu in 1934.
