Central Japan was held earlier today in Iwakura City, Japan. 1A was especially tough in the traditionally high-level contest, and Team YoyoJam member Hiroyuki Suzuki took the crown.
The other divisions had few finalists, but were also won by well known contest veterans: Hiraku Fujii won the 2A division; Jun Aramaki and Rei Iwakura, both from YoyoJam as well, won 3A and 4A respectively, and finally Hiroyasu Ishihara was the sole contestant and winner of the 5A division.
