He already has, but to make it absolutely plain:

As of the beginning of 2405, Benjamin Hutchins, CINC EoJ, is the -only- extant master of K-ryu.

As such, what he says is K-ryu, whether or not he learned it that way, -is- K-ryu -now.-

If it makes you feel better, recall that masters sometimes add to their martial art; the Cloud-Men's-Minds bit can be one such item.
