Looks more like gokyo variation rather than ikkyo variation to me, but I might be wrong. Any insight? I was under the impression that while ikkyo works on the uke's elbow, the other hand is supposed to hold the uke's wrist from upside (i.e. both tori's palms are placed more-or-less downward), however here it is hold from downside (the gokyo style hold).
Nishio's ikkyo here from gyakuhanmi is done in a "nikyo-mo" (nikyo-like) fashion. The application of ikkyo places the sword on the back of the opponent's elbow. With nikkyo the application of the sword cut comes down on the inside of their elbow (actually it's a cut to of uke's opposite side in ken tai ken). On the ikkyo pin here the uke's tegatana is held by the nage's left hand and the sword held over the back of their neck (w/ nikyo the edge of uke's hand is secured in nage's right elbow).
No,it's ikkyo, because all the action is on uke's elbow rather than on the wrist. The wrist is grabbed and twisted only to take control of, and curve uke's arm. Nishio senseis nikkyo is very different from this.

Yes, but he does that pin a lot since it's a powerful pin and very natural to apply with a bokken.

Still, at 0:22, he does a Nikyo pin, doesn't he?
