[ImSoJohnDeleted]

how old is he?

[Dynikus]

wtf is he doing 4a with a 1a yoyo or something? why's it so tiny tiny?

[MisterCookiez]

@Dynikus you can 4a with any size yoyo

[CrashKilla101]

@Dynikus i think its smaller than a 1a yoyo?!?!?!

[Oliverleonard9]

its even cooler because his yoyo is so small.

[Oliverleonard9]

This guys such a badass!

[rodelmacavinta1]

why did he switch yoyos 2:34

[WeezerX13]

@rodelmacavinta1 Looks like he might have gotten a knot in his string.

[ghidfg]

so smooth

[uranium092]

yooo check out thIS VIDEO (TY FINGER)

[duncandonutsert]

best 4a vid

[meguck]

[BackstrokeOfTheWest]

*drops yoyo* *picks it up with ninja skills* YOU SAW NOTHING

[erick4567able]

q yoyo tan pequeño xD

[yoyofun07]

haha at 1:30 he drops it lol

[LoliComplicated]

@yoyofun07 So? You're expected to drop it like atleast twice.

[TheCrazyAreBoyz]

@yoyofun07 i think it is meant to be it . kazuaki wanted the trick to be like that . no harm :)

[erick4567able]

what is the song name

[lethe56]

What? How? What? What just happened? My mind exploded.

How does the yoyo reattach itself to the string? What?

[KolieRAD]

1:20-1:25

omfg that was fast.

[kpj0927]

holy shit hes a ninja

[BosErikoReyes]

@kpj0927 No no, A ninja is actually helping him.

[OcelotPwns]

hmm... not many areal moves. lots of that looked a little closer to 1A. cool looking style though. very original

[animaanimaanima]

@OcelotPwns

wut u taking about? not enough aerial?

his yoyo was bouncing freely all the time

[KienHana]

he used Duncan FHZ

[bumurcum]

wtf, the yo yo isnt even connected to the string, i never knew you could do that, and i have played for years

[lilcris012]

yeah its called offstring yoyoing

[OcelotPwns]

thats what 4A is. offstring.

[YomasterJon]

my favorite va yoyoer by far. love his style

[Zul9111]

what song is that

[BABBYlonian]

what the heck? That is a small yoyo for offstring. But he's so good he could probably use a mighty flea for 4a

[Techo13]

i think thats a hyper freehand.

[dudet488]

naw it mite be a capless legacy

[Techo13]

Legacys werent released in 05.

[dudet488]

oh ur right srry

[Rannosteachs]

oops sorry i did not know it was already posted. sorry

[Rannosteachs]

this is the 2005 nationals the legacy came out in 2008 how could he be using it 3 years before it was made.

[yoyofis1]

yoyo??

[bombmistro]

5a is not like 4a the string is attached

[bergkshire]

He's good! But it was too slow so it wasn't fun to watch. It looked like he was just walking through the moves

[EpsilonKias]

I disagree, It wasn't so much slow as it was extremely fluid, A joy to watch compared to the usual 200 mph spectacle, IMO.

[hamguin47]

i agree it all looked very smooth

[Oliverleonard9]

@EpsilonKias i agree

[YoArma]

What I like about him is that he is so smooth even after those few rough spots. I also really like his snapstarts.

[anko8aug]

cool stuff

[Crazyflasher10]

wow wat a small yoyo

[CHABIEPORTNOY]

thats a freehand zero by duncan

[dannyaldridge727]

what yoyo is this

[EpsilonKias]

Duncan Hyper Freehand, Kazu uses Hayabusa's nowadays.

[thompsta]

wow wat a small yoyo o.o

[CHABIEPORTNOY]

thats a freehand zero by duncan

[feathersniper]

his yoyo is really small too, is there a thing small yoyos are better at than regular sized or big ones in 4a?

[Xdohls]

Bigger ones are alot easier.

[crapbag140]

i definitely agree, but i really liked his snap starts after dropping the yoyo. i would imagine it would be easier with a smaller yoyo.

[CHABIEPORTNOY]

thats a freehand zero by duncan

[kizzyontay52]

what a legend. the way he put all the grinds and bounces in there was amazing

[thejtendo]

Damn that finishing move was pretty nice

[CHABIEPORTNOY]

he can do thats finishing trick because of the yoyo

[lemonpunkk]

wow... this is bloody amazing.

[mremo3]

im not much into technical offstring but i love this freestyle.

[XxXxCidHighwindxXxX]

dude.. he is the best 4a out there

[TheMormanator]

i love how he dropped his yo yo, not that he dropped it, but instead, showing that these guys aren't gods after all.

[Eijiken]

its 4A/offstring....People drop their yos all the time in this style of play. Obviously you don't do it if you say that.

Even world champions miss their offstring catches. Its a hard style to do.

[LDellosa]

Pretty cool how fast he recovers from each missed catch. This guy is leet.

[BrownFuzz]

great freestyle! he's real good at 4A. The beginning of the music was deceptively epic though

[anusstrap]

Awesome freestyle.

[YoCrespo]

I wonder how he sets up his FHZ for 4a?

[magikai416]

so its a FHZ?

[2007Walther]

everyone starrts with their head down lol

[aadfisherman]

1st? he should have gotten 2nd, i think... to many drops, my opinion

[magikai416]

Dude! if he didnt get first who do you think should have gotten first??? Eiji? He had 5 drops(and one change) and Kazuaki had 2(and one change). no offence dude but I'm just pointing that out

[aadfisherman]

oh ok... i mean i just thought that his style wasnt as good as some of the ones ive seen...

[magikai416]

oh ok. sorry I got so cranky and stuff. Its just that I love him so much!(no I'm not gay) dude, I love his slack stuff.

[magikai416]

I think he deserved first.

His drop was on a hard grind move thing and he landed all the other grind-whip so he deservs it man.

I was also wondering what that yoyo was. it looks kind of small..... ah well who cares.

[newbyyy]

its very tough for offstring yoyo n1 dude

[bunnykill100]

what yoyo is that?

[polkacrazy]

the drop was recovered nicely though...like 2 seconds later he was alrdy at it again

[burncoldice]

DUDE THATS RUBBISH he should of got 2nd place..

[koi5775]

the drop wasn't to good...

[Techo13]

Anyone know the song he used?

[melnic228]

I believe it's "Liberty" by Sweetbox

[Techo13]

thank you

[TenguDemon]

ok, i'm only half way through this video, and i have to say something, this guy is amazing. i've tried off string yo yoing and it's no joke. seriously

[Nowthatsjustscary5]

Whoa... I have never seen anything like it, nor have I ever watched Japanese people use yo-yos.. Whoa...

[aphexmonster]

Nevermind this fool is pretty l337
