Temple (anatomical-left)
Paired temporal target; left counterpart
This point is the anatomical-left counterpart of the temple target in the front-view body. It is separated from the right point so the bilateral placement remains visible, although the kata sources describe the attack line rather than normalized x/y values. The point is retained as a dangerous historical target category, not as operational advice.
