    Takeshi matsuura is probably the most technical and versatile player I’ve ever seen. And he’s been winning worlds since he’s 11 if I’m not mistaken.

      Takeshi’s great. I would’ve loved to see him win worlds in 1a at some point.

    Wow he has so much dedication you can even see the Mark’s on his forehead were he probably accidentally hit him self with the yoyo or maybe he fell or something but I like to think that he most likely did it do to some tricks

    If he had an indestructible and super fluent yo yo, he could probably take on more than 4 guys in a bar fight lmao
