Randori feeds kata and kata feeds randori. I have to say that generally I find judo kata boring to watch and do - the pacing is just too slow and the general idea that kata training comes later breaks down the relationship to a more one sided (randori feeds kata) nature.

There were judoka that had their own ideas about this and did things differently (speed and balance) but I personally find the judo kata too stilted to be called elegant.
