GARGANTUA / Iori Yamaki / WYYC15 SEMI FINAL

August 7, 2015 By Steve Brown

YoYoRecreation just announced a pile of new releases for their Rebellion line being released at Worlds, and now we have a glimpse at a new plastic model for their main line! The Gargantua is, hopefully, releasing at Worlds and it looks like in the hands of a skilled player it can handle pretty much anything.

Plus we get a look at Iori Yamaki’s 1A Semi-Final routine for Worlds and if he goes clean he’s definitely got a shot at a big win this year.

Iori Yamaki wins the 2015 Asia Pacific YoYo Championships!

June 28, 2015 By Rafael Matsunaga

What an incredible contest! The 2015 Asia-Pacific Yo-yo Championships comes to an end with an unbelievably high level of competition!

1A was especially tough, with some of the world’s best fighting for the title, but it was Iori Yamaki, with an amazing display of speed and skill who took the title, ahead of previous champion Ahmad Kharisma, and multiple time World Champion Hiroyuki Suzuki!

In 2A, the world’s greatest champion, Shinji Saito, was once again the winner, beating country-mate Shu Takada, and Hong Kong’s Liu Man Ki.

Even without the same amount of top level players, 3A was a close call, with Taiichiro Higashi beating Mizuki Takimoto by only one point before deducts! Thawhir Iqbal, from Singapore, finished third.

4A usually has a higher number of deducts, and AP this year was no exception, with deducts determining a few placings. This year’s Japan Nationals runner-up, Naoto Onishi, finished first, followed by Singapore’s Sean Hung, and China’s Zhao Chen.

Finally, in 5A, Naoya Takeuchi completed Japan’s clean sweep by beating Singapore’s own Ian Loh, and Yuttana Sukhumalchatsombat, from Thailand!

Iori Yamaki Wins West Japan YoYo Contest (again!)

February 17, 2014 By Rafael Matsunaga

Raw speed and accuracy were Iori Yamaki’s weapons once again to take the West Japan title for the second year in a row! Even Hiroyuki Suzuki’s perfectly choreographed routine was not enough to beat Yamaki’s blazing-fast horizontal-behind-the-back-under-the-wrist madness. No doubt one of the strongest contest routines we’ve seen recently!

In 2A and 3A, Ryo Yamashita and Taiichiro Higashi counted on their larger contest experience to take their respective titles. The first runner-up in each division was close enough in Technical Execution to be a threat, with Sora Tahira even beating Higashi here, but the Technical and Performance evaluations easily guaranteed the title for both Ryo and Taiichiro.

Speaking of experience, 4A was a delight to the audience, with veterans Futoshi Maruyama and Kazuaki Sugimura displaying beautiful precision in their own unique styles, and Futoshi taking the title by a little over three points, the closest gap in the entire contest.

Three relatively new players competed in 5A finals, with Yasuhiro Uchida claiming his first title despite having four points deducted from his score.
