Ahmad Kharisma, from Indonesia, is the 2013 Asia Pacific champion! He’s no stranger  to this and other international contests in Asia, but beating the only previous champions of the contest is no small feat! Hiroyuki Suzuki has no less than seven AP titles, the only one he had not won so far was the 2011 title, when Christopher Chia won.

In 2A, the young Japanese talent Ginji Miura had no trouble beating Shaqler’s Atsushi Yamada to take first place. Last year’s winner, Shunsuke Kawakami ended up in sixth place.

3A and 5A, however, saw last year’s champions return to the top. Wong Chak Wing, from China, beat Taiichiro Higashi, from Japan by almost twenty points for a clear 3A win, while Bryan Jardin, from the Philippines, had a slightly tougher time retaining his 5A title beating Denny Ko, from Hong Kong and Iskandar Shah, from Singapore by just over ten points.

Finally, in 4A, former World Champion Tsubasa Onishi finished first to claim his second AP title. Coming in second place was the contest’s pleasant surprise, Thailand’s Pornpinit Sanprasert, finishing ahead of Korean champion Jeon Ji-Hwan and the always spectacular Sean Perez!
