I don't know enough about the art to find fault with either of them. They are both flawless to my eyes. Maybe Rika Usami's relatively petite physique enables more fluid motion, and she has the skill to maximize the advantage of that gift.
They are both extremely proficient at their karate katas which Ryo Kiyuna is the king of karate and Rika Usami is the queen of karate. To be a bit fair and honest, Ryo’s moves during a karate kata is significantly more faster and tighter than Rika Usami but her moves are also lightning speed as well. PS. Tough choice for me to vote who was the best but I say it would be a tie because Usami has a better technique at her katas which Kiyuna has a more tighter and rapid body move.
The Shito- Ryu version of Kusanku seems to be the only version which is performed in the tournaments...eccept Kanku Dai....sorry, maybe I am wrong and put this as a question: Do the athletes / karatekas perform also the okinawan versions in competition?
I wouldn't say "better". You're talking bio-mechanics. She's TINY, which can translate into sligjtly faster or cleaner movements. Size makes a BIG difference in that regard. One thing he has that she doesn't is power. You hear it clear as day. He's a freight train.
rika usami is the best kata queen
Rika usami, técnica, kime , armonía en sus movimientos ,, inigualable ,, oss
Although don't know much about Karate, the first one seems to have been forcing it while the last one seems to have it natural and flowing.
Who else notice kiyuna and usami doing same kata in background 🙈❤️❤️❤️

@Rob-lw1uw thank you, Sensei. I was just curios because after injuries and health problems I wasn't fit enough to compete anymore.

Both are incredibly fast but Rika's technique is better

Both of them are best player. No one can judge who is the best player.
This was the demonstration of pure excellence I didn't know I needed :c) They're both next level
