Synonyms: Kote-Gaeshi

Technique where uke is thrown through the contact at the wrist. 

Tori moves to uke's outer side, grabs uke's wrist from above ("eagle claw" grip), and enters for the throw. This is a very popular technique for break falls.

Kotegaeshi is related to irimi-nage where the throw is using the contact to uke's neck instead.
