I was referring to techniques in isolation from any kata. If you see a Shotokan dude delivering a sidekick, his/hers body is not leaned back like the Korean version. Japanese kicking techniques are much more tight and rushed .

So then there is a difference between the two and someone might be interested in learning both styles?

The thing is that there's been so much interbreeding between Karate and TaeKwonDo that I don't think it matters at this point. I just attended a Shotokan class in which the instructor taught the students mawashi geri with the instep (!?) during Kihon!!
