Hi, I’m Rei Iwakura!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hello, I\u2019m Rei Iwakura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am pleased to announce that I joined Yo-Yo Company Inc.!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been playing yo-yo for over 20 years as a competitor and performer. Also, yo-yo has given me so many precious things in my life.
Through working at REWIND, I hope I can contribute to the yo-yo culture, contest scene, and people in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From now on, I will be in charge of international marketing.
When I have been at the world yo-yo contests and some national yo-yo contests in other countries, I have always been surprised and impressed by the uniqueness and excitement of the yo-yo scene in each country. And I also remember strongly that those local yo-yo players welcomed me a lot with their kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the gratitude I felt at that time, I would love to help you from Japan to enrich your yo-yo life in return for everything I have received from others before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be updating the REWIND Worldwide accounts on social media, so please feel free to leave messages and comments. I will check and reply!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an 8-time Japan national champion and 7-time world champion. Overall, I’m guessing I have more than 40 champion titles in total.

I am not only a competitor, but also a yo-yo performer. I perform a yo-yo show at many types of performance festivals and stages. My main style is \u201cOff String”, and Soloham tricks (2 off string yo-yos simultaneously!). I also judge at contests and teach yo-yoing to kids.

I am also very much into digging through yo-yo history. I love to find historical yo-yo stories, and I want to share those with you through our social media in the future.

Favorite foods and drinks: Soba, Yogurt, Red Bull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
