You got it right

I youtubed his name and this was the top video that came up.  Kind of a unique way to skate but I like it.

funny that genki is also from okinawa (where gou was born) too. there must be something in the water down there.
apparently he is on baker/ death wish flow so hopefully the boss starts to recognize.

Another proof that if americans can do it, the japanese can do it better. And probably cheaper.

That was sick. A watch a ton of Japanese skateboarding media, I don't recognize these dudes from the TBPR crew, or FESN dudes, or Chopper and those heads. Curious to know where these guys hail from.

The Magical Mosh Misfits dude Genki is from Okinawa and also Wataru Ganeko is from Okinawa, not sure where the rest of the guys are from though.

I'm guessing this Double Rock stuff was filmed last year when these guys were on a S.F. trip that resulted in Wataru getting the cover of Thrasher Japan, here's the cover and a couple more pics from him:

VHS Mag is my favorite right now, it's very good and a lot of it is translated into English: http://www.vhsmag.com/ (http://www.vhsmag.com/)

Another one worth checking out is Transworld Japan: http://www.transworldweb.jp/skate/ (http://www.transworldweb.jp/skate/)

Also the guy CB that runs the Heshdawgz shop has a killer blog: http://heshdawgz.com/blog/cb/ (http://heshdawgz.com/blog/cb/)

RUA Magazine is cool too, they even have downloadable issues and the photography is really nice: http://ruamagazine.net/ (http://ruamagazine.net/)

SB Skateboard Journal is really nice as well: http://www.sbskateboardjournal.com/ (http://www.sbskateboardjournal.com/)
