Congratulations to Hideo Ishida on winning the 5A Division of the 2018 Japan National YoYo Championship! Check out full results and video of the top 3 winners below.
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!
