Have you guys seen this? He is so good, and it looks like it's just the tip of the ice berg for this guy. His form is amazing.

Ken, do you know him? Have you seen him play before?

Yeah, that's Takatsugu Mihara, aka "Henmo." He's been around for a while. He took 2nd place at Japanese nationals a couple years ago. Originally from the outskirts of Osaka, now lives in Nagoya? He was at Worlds 2004 and did really well.

Here's another vid of him which I think is more impressive.

He also posted this vid a while back.

Yes! I've been wondering about this guy for so long. I saw that last vid that Ken posted above, like a year ago or whenever he put it out and it's always been one of my top 3 favorites. The editing is absolutely stellar with the music. It's really cool to see some other footage of him. Thanx Drew and Ken.

Sorry for the last post, that's my old account...
What I was gonna say is that I like this guys style and the tapping rev whirling swirling is very rare indeed.

i saw that last one a little while ago - arty footbag video = ace

very nice form though, he looks so relaxed and seems to make really quick moves look almost slow and easy

Hey, is this the same guy? If I'm way off- sorry I'm tired.

I was watching some C-FAN shred on youtube and this showed up.

*sigh*
No. Not the same guy.

Phat tricks though.

I knew I was taking a risk here. Hope I didn't offend anyone. Similar build, hair, grainy youtube video, ridiculous shred level.

Sigh
