Obsession ft. mowl Ambassadors

May 13, 2019 By Steve Brown

Few companies know how to hang out and have a good time like our friends at mowl!

From mowl:

During their last trip to Osaka our Ambassadors Kenta Kushiro and Daiki Tanaka had the opportunity to meet up with our dear friends Ryo Tahira and DJ HTOWN and take over the street of Osaka all dressed by the freshest and well-known brand Team Satan, to whom by the way we like to show and express our utmost appreciation for the kind gesture. This video featured one of our greatest product, the mowl “Obsession” which is beautifully presented by these talented gentlemen.

Yoyo used is the mowl Obsession.

Duncan, YoYoFactory, and C3 announce new team members at Japan Nationals!

May 5, 2014 By Rafael Matsunaga

Large contests are the perfect occasion for teams to add new players, and this years Japan National Yo-yo Contest was no exception!

Duncan Crew got a new member at the contest, and oddly enough, not from Japan! Jason Kao, two-time 3A Taiwan National champion, and loyal Duncan fan for several years, is now part of Duncan’s massive sponsored team!

Next up, one of the newer generation’s most talented players, Daiki Tanaka, got a well-deserved spot on the YoYoFactory Contest Team, and joins this impressive group of World Champions!

Finally, C3yoyodesign added Ryuichi Nakamura to their Rising Force team, meaning we can expect great things from him in the very near future!

This time, we get plenty of action from the younger talents at 800YOYOCLASS. Keep an eye on them, the future World Champion may be right before your eyes!

1st Place – Hajime Miura

Daiki Tanaka — FIST SALUD 2014

March 1, 2014 By Drew Tetz

When I went to 44CLASH in 2011, Kohta gave us stickers that read “WHO’S GOING TO BE A NEXT GENERATION?” Upon receiving & reading his sticker, Hank pointed to Daiki practicing tricks in the corner and said “That guy. He’s the next generation.” Two contest seasons later, and he is definitely living up to this promise. Dee’s recent clip featuring Daiki for Fist Salud shows you why he’s the future: clever transitions, sophisticated combo construction, and of course his signature cross-armed horizontal circular eli hop banger—what’s not to love?

Fist Salud DayTrip pt. 1 — Shu Takada & Daiki Tanaka

December 17, 2013 By Drew Tetz

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.

Hamacon 2013 Clip – Dee

May 6, 2013 By Drew Tetz

Another fantastic Japanese contest clip from Dee of Fist Salud. As we’ve come to expect from Dee’s videos, there’s a good mix of legends (Chris Makita, Kengo Kido, Pon, Rei Iwakura) and new school talent (check out Daiki’s whip thing at :37!)… and also some gleefully uncensored old school hip-hop, so maybe keep those speakers down at work. What we didn’t expect was the enormous red-eyed dragon throwing product into the crowd and playing with devil sticks, but as Maya Nakamura likes to put it, THIS IS JAPAN!
