I own a lot of Japanese videos that aren't on youtube. Deshi is a frequent standout skater in many of them, whether in a part or montage.
This part essentially turned him into my favorite skateboarder. 90% of the boards I've ridden for the past ~5 years have been Deshi Traffic boards.
Now, this isn't exactly my video to just upload so I have it on my Vimeo, password protected, to share with friends. I'm going to change the password later today. Enjoy.
Password: Deshi
Wow, that was really sick. Alot of those spots seemed really hard to skate as well and he pulled his tricks off super gracefully.
Does this guy skate with the tightbooth productions crew? His unique spot/trick selection kind of reminds me of that of the dudes from the Lenz 2 video
He always has tricks in TBPR videos. There’s a few even before the Lenz videos. You might see him listed under his real name; Yoshihiro Ohmoto.
He’s definitely always in Yukihisa Nakamura’s videos (started Secret Cut magazine, and is behind BP Trading, which some of you may have heard of). If I had to say he was in a crew, this would be it. Only one that is online is Skate Archives, which is one of my favorite videos. But Yuki has been making videos since the late 90s all the way to now and Deshi either has tricks or parts in all of them. He is also responsible for the first few Gou parts I believe. Yuki is pretty influential in Japanese skating/filmmaking.
Deshi has also filmed with Katsumi Minami a bunch; Night Prowler, which is online, and he filmed that Traffic part. Katsumi is the main guy behind the Evisen video. Honestly, Deshi is in every quality Japanese video you can think of since the early 2000s until now. FESN, Toriotoko, etc..
