Verse Henry adapted in Kyoto unobtrusively initially (5)
I believe the answer is:
haiku
'verse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'henry adapted in kyoto unobtrusively initially' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'h' ('H' can be a synonym of 'henry').
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'adapted in kyoto unobtrusively' is 'aiku'.
'h'+'aiku'='HAIKU'
