Tai Otoshi

The body drop, a hand technique. Tori turns in, plants their leg across the outside of uke's leading leg as a bar, and turns their hands hard to the corner. Uke is turned over the bar rather than lifted onto it, so the extended leg carries no weight at all — which is why it works against a heavier opponent.
