In the Kodokan videos and textbook the finishing technique of Naname-Uchi is Osoto-Otoshi but in my copy of Kodokan judo it is described as Osoto-Gari. Osoto-Otoshi is also not in the gokyo in Kodokan judo. Is this a mistake or was there a change of technique at some point?

It must be o-soto-otoshi. If you find o-soto-gari instead somewhere, it´s simply a mistake.

Osoto-otoshi can be found in Kodokan pages. It can also be found from Daigo's book.classicschmosby wrote:In the Kodokan videos and textbook the finishing technique of Naname-Uchi is Osoto-Otoshi but in my copy of Kodokan judo it is described as Osoto-Gari.

You are right that osoto-otoshi is not in the current gokyo in Kodokan judo, but it was in the old gokyo untill the revision in 1920. Osoto-otoshi was in the group 4 as throw 9.
My guess is it was not considered sufficiently different to be studied by those on their way to obtain 1 dan.
