C3yoyodesign Presents: Shion Araya – RADIUS

August 13, 2016 By Steve Brown

Right before the World YoYo Contest, our friends at C3yoyodesign dropped a new promo video for Shion Araya’s signature model, the Radius. Great timing, huh? Shion Araya went on to win the 1A Division at the World YoYo Contest with that yoyo, and now is a great time to check out this crazy good promo video. And you might as well check out his winning freestyle again, while you’re here. 😉

AP16 Results: Shion Araya wins 1A, Liu Man Ki beats Shinji Saito in 2A!

July 6, 2016 By Rafael Matsunaga

The 2016 Asia Pacific Yo-yo Championships was held last week in Singapore, and with yet another huge player turnout, we got a couple of nice surprises among the results!

1A

While we had the usual group of players among the top finishers in 1A, this year we have a brand new face topping the chart! Shion Araya, who finished second at last year’s World Yo-yo Contest, was the winner, with a solid and fast-paced routine, beating AP veterans Marcus Koh, who finished second and took home the Singapore Champion title, and Ahmad Kharisma, arguably the most consistent of the AP contestants.

Last year’s winner, Iori Yamaki, was absent, while veteran contenders Hiroyuki Suzuki and Christopher Chia finished in 6th and 15th place, respectively.

Check out Shion’s winning freestyle and full results from finals below:

  1. Shion Araya
  2. Marcus Koh
  3. Ahmad Kharisma
  4. Dong Ruida
  5. Toya Kobayashi
  6. Hiroyuki Suzuki

  20. Brandon Vu
  21. Thawhir Iqbal
  22. Hu Ruiheng
  23. Mohd Omarail Hafizzudin
  24. Kuo Tzu Wei

2A

The biggest surprise of the contest was in the 2A division, where veteran Liu Man Ki, from Hong Kong, beat 13-time World Champion Shinji Saito, thanks to a major deduction from the latter that was just enough to switch their final rankings. An impressive feat nonetheless!

  1. Liu Man Ki
  2. Shinji Saito
  3. Arata Imai
  4. Tomoyuki Kaneko
  5. Shuhei Kanai
  6. Yuki Takami

  10. Yoon Jong Ki
  11. Jun Taniguchi
  12. Tran Minh Hieu
  13. Kyle Capiral

3A

3A had fewer big names compared to the other divisions, and Taiichiro Higashi had no trouble securing his second title in a row.

  1. Taiichiro Higashi
  2. Yuuki Kurumisawa
  3. Thawhir Iqbal

4A

Offstring at this year’s AP was nothing short of fantastic! Local legend Lim Aik Hwee took home his fourth AP title 10 years after his first, and after no less than 4 years of competition hiatus!

He was closely followed by Tsubasa Onishi and his usual and always entertaining acrobatics, and Tomohiko Zanka, who got his career’s best result yet!

  1. Lim Aik Hwee
  2. Tsubasa Onishi
  3. Tomohiko Zanka
  4. Kuo Po Han
  5. Jeon Ji Hwan

  12. Nguyen Hoang Tri Hai
  13. Lee Min Woo
  14. Wesley Lim
  15. Mohd Khairsyah
  16. Brandon Vu

5A

Hideo Ishida had no trouble winning the counterweight division and his first AP title. His “modern old-school” 5A is always a pleasure to watch.

  1. Hideo Ishida
  2. Tran Quoc Huy
  3. Ian Loh

C3yoyodesign Presents: Radius Making Of

April 28, 2016 By Steve Brown

When Shion Araya wanted a new signature model, C3yoyodesign got to work. They talked to him about what he wanted and then created three different designs that all accomplished those goals in different ways. Through their Facebook page we got to see them walking through the prototyping process with these different iterations, and working through the process of Shion testing and deciding what worked best for him. Now we have the final product, releasing this weekend at the Hamamatsu YoYo Contest in Japan, and worldwide on May 2nd.

I’m forever amazed that C3yoyodesign isn’t a much larger company. I’m genuinely surprised when I walk around at a contest and I don’t see half the players throwing C3 yoyos. They are great people, who love what they do, and they make a wide range of genuinely fantastic products. They are deeply and intimately involved in every single step of the production process, and they are all passionate yoyo players who truly, madly love what they do.

This video is a great look at what it means to love what you do.

C3yoyodesign Radius Specs:

Weight: 63.92g (sandblasted) / 64.09g (polished)
Diameter: 56.00mm
Width: 43.05mm
Gap width: 4.5mm
Response: C3 purple pad
Bearing: Genuine Dif KonKave Bearing – Size C

C3yoyodesign Presents: Shinya & Shion – Berserker SS

November 13, 2014 By Steve Brown

The new Berserker SS from C3YoYoDesign is making a lot of noise among bi-metal yoyo fans, and this new promo video puts it in the hands of C3 team members Shion Araya and Shinya Kido, both of whom have signature editions of this new yoyo. Former World Champion Shinya is one of the most consistently clean yoyo players in the world, and Shion is very much a rising talent with a 6th Place finish at the 2014 Japan National YoYo Contest. Great yoyo tricks from some fantastic players!

C3YoYoDesign Presents: Shion Araya Level.6 Test

January 12, 2014 By Steve Brown

Japanese C3YoYoDesign team member Shion Araya braves the cold to throw the Level.6, the newest mid-range yoyo from C3YoYoDesign. Shion is a great player, and this video was filmed and edited by his mom…which we find adorable.
