Morote gari (双手刈) is a double leg takedown adopted later by the Kodokan into their Shinmeisho-no-waza (newly accepted techniques) list. It is categorized as a hand technique, te waza. It is not allowed in IJF competitions due to the "no touching below the belt" rule.

Morote gari was initially known as kuchiki taoshi, both moves being considered one and the same in most jujutsu schools. Kyutaro Kanda gave it its current name after it was made official in the Kodokan.^[1][2]

Whereas morote gari is a frontal attack, The Canon Of Judo describes soto morote as a hanmi-irimi technique, where tori is on uke's side.
