Shu Takada – 2017 CYCC Tour

July 26, 2017 By Steve Brown

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.

Shu Takada x FUTURE BOYZ at the World Yo-yo Contest!

August 6, 2015 By Rafael Matsunaga

This year’s World Yo-yo Contest in Tokyo just keeps getting better!

Shu Takada & Future Boyz

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!
