Tago! The Jap player to follow closely is probably Kenichi Tago! I was really impressed by this 17 yeras old yungster when he won the Swedish International (Where he beat some really strong Dansih players). He have a tough draw, after qualifying, in German Open, against #2 seed Chen Yu... But Kenichi can very well be a top star in a few year!! /Twobeer
Did anyone see Shoji Sato's face when he lost to Chong Wei during the Asian Games 2006? He was smiling when he shook hands with Chong Wei! And it was such a nice smile...! How's he like in real person? He seems like a really great person. But, I just wish he can go further.
Ah.. I saw him in the Swedish International draw also. Jens Kristian Leth[DEN] -[JPN] Kenichi Tago15-21 15-21 Good luck for German Open.
Maybe Yonex should do Sumo Wrestling @_@!?!? Well, the big thing about Yonex is their technology, and the japanese have always been a leader in consumer tech. That would include racquets i guess ^^ \/
yeah i saw this pic before.. taufik looks like a god, while the japanese players look like god's own angels..
yes,i agree with you. Reiko Shiota played WS in 2000 World Junior Championship. Maybe she lost to a Chinese player.
