The best of the best, y’all. The always incredible Shu Takada is at it again, this time in a new video produced by Kazane Shimazaki, one of the most famous football freestylers in Japan.
Yoyos used are the YoYoFactory Loop 720.
It’s only February and Fist Salud already released the video of the year. Now what is everyone else supposed to do? I guess just kick back and enjoy watching 4x World Champion Shu Takada reinforce that he really is one of the most talented and creative yoyo players of all time.
Yoyos used are the YoYoFactory Loop 720 and an unnamed YoYoFactory prototype.
Shu Takada is one of the most talented yoyo players of his generation. Natural talent combined with thousands of hours of hard work have made him a World Champion several times over, but it’s his creativity and almost effortless trick delivery that keeps us coming back for more.
Yoyo used is the YoYoFactory Loop 2020.
YoYoFactory and Heartbeat Media put together a new feature video of Shu Takada, filmed while he was visiting China for CYCC 2017. Shu has developed such an incredible amount of skill…watching him play 2A is watching someone at the very pinnacle of their game. Not a single movement wasted, and every transition leads to the most logical possible trick. Shu is a real inspiration to watch.
Yoyo used is the YoYoFactory Loop 1080.
Anyone else here feel like they could watch Shu Takada throw yoyos all day long? ‘Cause we do.
ALL. DAY. LONG.
Yoyo used is the YoYoFactory Shu-Ta.
YoYoFactory is releasing their much-loved looping yoyos, the Loop 1080, with LED lights! The Loop 1080 is easily one of the most advanced and most used looping yoyos on the market, and now we get it with lights? Hell yeah!
The YoYoFactory LED 1080 is releasing first at the 2015 World YoYo Contest, and at retailers soon afterwards.
Shu Takada has big plans in the works for this years World YoYo Contest and he’s definitely a top contender for the 2A Division, and one of the players that everyone will be watching. So does he really need a hype video right before Worlds? Probably not.
Are we going to watch the hell out of it anyway? Oh, absolutely.

This year’s World Yo-yo Contest in Tokyo just keeps getting better!
EDM duo FUTURE BOYZ will be performing at the contest venue on Saturday, as well as presenting a collaborative work with World Champion Shu Takada, and releasing a very limited edition of the YoYoFactory Loop 1080!
FUTURE BOYZ are signed to Avex, one of the biggest entertainment groups in Japan, and a powerhouse in the electronic music scene in Asia! They’ve toured internationally and recently performed at the Omotesando Apple Store, which is probably the coolest Apple store in the World.
Now take all of that and add Shu Takada’s usual insane yo-yo performance, and you get an unmissable show in Tokyo!
This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you throw a yo-yo contest party!
Shu Takada is one of the most talented players on the scene today, and any time you can watch him play is time well spent.

To promote the release of their collaborative YoYoFactory signature yoyo, the SHU-TA, YoYoFactory Contest Team members Gentry Stein and Shu Takada have a new video, courtesy of Fist Salud!
Gentry and Shu are both in top form here, and if you were on the fence about picking up a SHU-TA before, this video should sway you nicely.

YoYoFactory’s Shu Takada dropped a new 1A video, courtesy of Fist Salud. This is also our first look at the prototype of Shu’s new signature model from YoYoFactory. The rumor was that it was a signature version of the Shutter, but maybe it’s something new? From the video it looks like a Shutter…maybe the specs have changed and this is the next version!
Two of YoYoFactory’s brightest young superstars, Shu & Daiki, take some time out from their holiday shopping to throw down a quick & fun edit. Daiki’s 1A is on-point as usual, with clean geometry and combo construction, and Shu mixes up the 2A wizardry we’ve come to expect with some equally jaw-dropping 1A. Their two styles complement each other very well, and it’s great to see contest forerunners pushing clean, fun, and innovative tricks even offstage.
This video was brought to us by Dee in the name of that shadowy Japanese superteam we all know & love, FIST SALUD.
