Piccolo shoots a blast at Freeza with his hands together, outstretched in front of him, similar to the Masenko. However, it's never called such, and Piccolo doesn't start out by placing his hands over his head before firing, like Gohan does with the Masenko.

Or did Gohan use something else on Nappa?
Likewise, what Gohan uses against Vegeta isn't labeled as anything in the manga, and it lacks the hands over the head charging position we see with the Masenko.
So call me persnickety, but I wouldn't really count either of those as instances of the Masenko.

Future Gohan used it once in the Trunks special, and I'm sure he used it in some of the movies.

Isn't the Bakurikimaha? It looks a lot like it.

From what I remember, that attack needs to be charged up a bit. It also has a bit of lightning effect around Piccolo's hands when he uses it.
It's possible he could have used the Masenko without actually shouting it and there just wasn't a panel where he raised his hands above his head. There's another point where Gohan does a similar sort of thing.
