[[File:Heian Shodan Embusen.gif|thumb|Embusen of Heian Shodan (from Best Embusen: Shotokan)]]

is a Japanese term used in martial arts like karate and judo to refer to the spot where a kata begins, as well as its line of movement. Though it is not stressed in Okinawa, nearly all Japanese-influenced kata start and end on exactly the same embusen point (Kiten). This word is also commonly romanized as enbusen.
