I was reading a post earlier made about some comic book style claws. now i know that they are just imaginary, but i think that the ninja actually had something kind of similar to it.
They weren't so much an invention of togakure ryu as they were an adaptation.
If I remember correctly, shuko were originally used for picking up chopped down trees/logs on the ground. I would imagine they were also used to help climb trees. The foot claws (ashiko) would have also been used for improving climbing grip.
Of course the benefits of using those in a combat situation are obvious..
