Freestyle football in Japan
FTV gives us a look at some Japanese freestyle football players:
The first guy shown is Yosuke Yokota, who represented Japan at last year’s freestyle football world championship. Although he had some impressive moves, including a backflip, he did not win.
The second freestyle footballer Kotaro Tokuda, a 17-year-old high school student from Ehime. Tokuda studied videos of Yokota’s previous appearances in competitions, and had prepared some moves to challenge him. When they face off at an event in Yokohama, the judges pick Tokuda over Yokota. Tokuda went on to win that competition, and will represent Japan at the world championship later this year in South Africa.
