Yoshihiro Abe shows off some smooth 5A in this promo video for the upcoming Duncan Counter Punch. We’ve got a review sample here and it’s a super nice yoyo (Spotlight coming soon!) but ours didn’t come with a counterweight…will this be the new 5A flagship model from Duncan?
Shion Araya & Yoshihiro Abe – May 2017

Yoshihiro Abe – 5A May
Duncan Crew Japan’s Yoshihiro Abe cranks out a beautiful 5A video for 5A May, the official month where everyone collectively goes “Hey, what happened to 5A?” and a dozen players yell “STILL HERE” and drop excellent videos.
Yoyo used is the Duncan Barracuda.
Duncan Toys – Yoshihiro Abe
Duncan player Yoshihiro Abe gives up some really fun 5A play in his newest video. I have a soft spot for 5A players, but Yoshihiro is still really damn good.
Yoyo used is the Barracuda by Duncan Toys.
Takeshi Matsuura wins 1A at the 2014 North Japan Regional!
We all know Takeshi Matsuura’s mind-blowing 5A skills, and we end up forgetting how incredibly amazing he is at other divisions! Remember 2010? He won both 3A and 5A at Japan Nationals that year.
Last weekend, at the 2014 North Japan Regional Yo-yo Contest, held in the cold Sapporo, Takeshi reminded us that his 1A is also top-notch, as he took the top spot with some fantastic tricks!
Also worth mentioning is Hiraku Fujii’s victory in 2A. We don’t see Hiraku as often these days, and it’s always great to see him on stage!
