I am teaching myself the orphan kata, Ji'in. It is not usually included in the 25 shotokan kata canon. It is not in the Best Karate series or in Sugiyama Sensei's 25 Shotokan Kata. It's a lot like Jion, one of the Sentei Katas, and has a similar starting move to Jitte. I love training Jion and Jitte, so Ji'in will make a nice addition to kata repertoire.
I also want to learn the Shitoryu Kata, Anan. It has some really interesting movements like palm strikes and shiko dachi stances.
