Kendama World Cup 2023
Last weekend the Kendama World Cup went down in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima! The premiere Kendama competition serves as our world championship, and boy did it not disappoint this year. The best players in the world went head to head for the world title, and one player showed he’s still the world’s finest. Takuya Igarashi won his third Kendama World Cup title with a final run score of 1543 points. Takuya is now a three time KWC champion, and with no other player with more than one KWC title, Takuya cements himself in a league of his own. With this win, Takuya is making a strong case for greatest Kendama player of all time.
However, Takuya didn’t win by a massive margin, and it should be noted there were several other standout performances. Motty of Sol Kendamas got second place, making it the 4th time he’s finished on the podium, a feat only he has achieved. Incredible consistency demonstrated by one of the game’s greatest players. Maharu rounded out the podium, finishing in 3rd. Nick Gallagher, one of the favorites to possibly take it away from Takuya, finished in 5th place. Nick Gallagher showed he’s still America’s best chance at taking the title back from the Japanese. We expect him to make some adjustments and come back swinging in 2024.
HINA is 365 Kendama!
We are so excited to announce our first female player, and ALSO our first Japanese player: Hina! Hina is an incredible Kendama player hailing from Hatsukaichi, Japan, the birthplace of Kendama. Hina is only 14 years old, and we believe she has the potential to be the best female player in the world. We can’t wait to grow with her, and support her Kendama journey. Check out her amazing 365 announcement edit below!
