We are proud to announce the \u201cJapan Open YoYo Championship\u201d, a new championship brought to you by Hiroyuki Suzuki and Kengo Kido in collaboration.
\nThe Japan Open YoYo Championship is an international open YoYo championship, set up with the aim to stimulate the long-term development of the Japanese YoYo community.
\nThe Tokyo 2015 World YoYo Contest, was a special contest for many Japanese players who for the first time shared experiences and made new bonds with players from overseas, giving them a taste of how great an international community is developing, far away from Japanese shores.
\nTo give the positive effects of worlds long lasting momentum, we felt the need to create an event in Japan where players can gather from across the world annually, build on friendships, and continue the rivalries sparked in 2015.
\nIn the same way that Europe is known for EYYC, and Singapore is known for AP, we will build a contest that the Japanese community can be proud of.
\nWe also firmly believe that because of the size and the passion toward YoYo our community has, along with our depth of experience with running competitions, that the 2018 World Yo-yo Contest should again be held in Japan.
\nThe success of the Japan Open YoYo Championship will further cement the already strong foundations we have in Japan \u2013 that is our experience of running contest and our fantastic scene \u2013 and give our committee of organisers further experience in order to make a successful bid for the 2018 World Yo-Yo Contest, and run an amazing event.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
