i respect them all,i have had the honour of training with senseis kawasoe,kase and enoeda just an amazing amazing experience,next to them i have always found sensei peter leeitch(scotland) or sensei ronnie watt 9aderdeen scotland)at katas were awesome both taught by the late sensei enoeda(rip)steve
Ive seen the videos of Yahara doing UNSU for competition and alot of the techniques were not finished. He is a great karateka but hes not the best a UNSU.
Yahara Sensei's Unsu is somehow "magical' - he always rushes through techniques, many times they don't seem "finished" to us mere mortals... but still, as a whole the Kata looks so good. It's probably because Yahara Sensei does it with all of his heart and soul. On the other side, Kawasoe Sensei is regarded by many as best all around Kata authority ever. Looks like he has no "favorite Kata", he does 'em all. I could watch his performance of Hangetsu 24 hrs a day.

Obviously Kawasoe Sensei is an extraordinarily talented Karateka/Instructor, but I think you can't beat Yahara Sensei for UNSU !

Who do you think is better at Unsu than Yahara Sensei ?
Are there any videos on YouTube that I can see ?
And PLEASE don't say Luca Valdesi !
