2018 South Japan YoYo Contest – Winners

March 5, 2018 By Steve Brown

Video is up for the winners of the 2018 South Japan YoYo Contest, and the amount of talent on display is mind-blowing. Japan Nationals is gonna be amazing.

Izuri Hasumi took the 1A division with an intense but problematic routine. He was still able to power through a lot of small mistakes and mostly stick to his music cues, which shows how much work he’s put in. A clean version of this would could definitely be a Japan Nats contender for Top 3.

1A – First Place – Izuru Hasumi

Ryo Yamashita took the 2A division with a solid routine that only had a few minor losses of control and could probably win any 2A Division in the US easily. The level of play for 2A is so high in Japan that it’s hard to say how this routine will play out at Japan Nats, but it’s definitely up to snuff.

2A – First Place – Ryo Yamashita

Ryosuke Ito put together a nice 3A routine that led off with some interesting asymmetrical tricks, but definitely struggled to land it clean. The routine was difficult enough to pull off a win, but he’s got some work to do before Nationals.

3A – First Place – Ryosuke Ito

Yuki Uchida brought a stunning offstring routine that has definitely pushed him out to the front of the pack for Japan Nationals contenders. With 4th Place finishes at the last two World YoYo Contests, Yuki Uchida is definitely a rising star and one of the most exciting new contenders in offstring.

4A – First Place – Yuki Uchida

2015 Japan National Champion Hideo Ishida took the 5A division with a strong routine and minimal flubs. Hideo is a gifted and practiced player, and a clean run with this routine could definitely make some waves at Japan Nationals this year, as well as Worlds.

5A – First Place – Hideo Ishida

Iori Yamaki Wins West Japan YoYo Contest (again!)

February 17, 2014 By Rafael Matsunaga

Raw speed and accuracy were Iori Yamaki’s weapons once again to take the West Japan title for the second year in a row! Even Hiroyuki Suzuki’s perfectly choreographed routine was not enough to beat Yamaki’s blazing-fast horizontal-behind-the-back-under-the-wrist madness. No doubt one of the strongest contest routines we’ve seen recently!

In 2A and 3A, Ryo Yamashita and Taiichiro Higashi counted on their larger contest experience to take their respective titles. The first runner-up in each division was close enough in Technical Execution to be a threat, with Sora Tahira even beating Higashi here, but the Technical and Performance evaluations easily guaranteed the title for both Ryo and Taiichiro.

Speaking of experience, 4A was a delight to the audience, with veterans Futoshi Maruyama and Kazuaki Sugimura displaying beautiful precision in their own unique styles, and Futoshi taking the title by a little over three points, the closest gap in the entire contest.

Three relatively new players competed in 5A finals, with Yasuhiro Uchida claiming his first title despite having four points deducted from his score.
