Old dudes like me will remember him from Prime and Deca, this interview is rad he talks about those days and also what he's been up to now with his board company Uniful.

Sick new part, also in the interview they posted his Prime and Deca parts, Japanese legend basically.
Yabai!

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

Wow he still skates ?

Hs parts were mind blowing back in the day.

[Alan]

Still got those fs nollie heelflips. Thanks for posting.

[The Drew]

[layzieyez]

Chou yabai!!!! (Translation:  Totally Fucking Cool)

[commander jameson]

I'm glad that he's still skating.
I didn't know that he was so young in Prime videos, he ripped in those.

Edit:
I forgot to write that his newest part is also really good.

[Pango]

I love how his skating is still reminiscent of his Decca days but with a few new twists and HD too

[joebudden]

[Aatila]

That was nice, remember this guy from fight fire with fire video good to see he still got those nollie frontside heelflips

[Sidewalk Funk.]

I always wondered what happened to him after Deca. Really loved his stuff back in the day. This made me smile.

[360 frip]

He is a really friendly dude too.

How old is he now? On some Asian peter pan shit.

Watching him and Jun skate was always a high point at Tamachi.

Still ripping.

[Monty Burns]

Always loved this dude , His sneak peak and second to none parts were amazing . Lots of japanese spots , skating fast , tech and going big . Think I made a thread some time ago asking what happend to this dude

I wish I ran into him at Tamachi.  I did get to see Nuge and Rodrigo TX skate there.

I saw them there too. Nuge did very little and Rodrigo was  messing around with switch tre manuals from what I remember.  I forget who else was there. What was their connection? Circa or something?

jun still kills it too... if you see him and Takapi skate at komazawa you are in for a real treat... 

[Omamori]

So happy when I saw this thread. I really enjoyed his Deca part and its good to see he is doing well.

Dude is probably 35 or so but he's not even the most Peter Pan of all these Japanese shredders, Chatty Chatty/Western Edition guy Zizow is like 42 or something and he's still super tech.
These parts are kinda old but couldn't find newer footy of him.


Chatty Chatty 3 part


Western Edition WE3 part

Anyway, rad to see others are as stoked on this as I am.

[EARL***THE***PEARL]

Stoooked I  loved his Deca part I remember tripping so hard on that see-through screen phone he had like 10 years ago hahaha remember  Junnosake too?  shared a part with Joey Suriel in the City Stars video that front 180 fakie manual fakie fs heel out ender was G-CODE

[DARIA]

[Fake Tits]

Just reading his name brought back good memories.

Yeah Zizow!!  He's my favorite style out of all the Chatty Chatty dudes.  Chatty Chatty 4 is amazing and it could hold up to most western videos on a level of technical skating.

Thanks for putting up that chatty 3 link.  I got so much nostalgia for those Yokosuka spots and the damned SEGA ledges.

[ChuckRamone]

Sorry to ressurect such an old thread but has anyone else watched Terrace House? Shin Okada appears in the BGOND season.

[Commercial D]

Dang 40 really is the new 20.

Name a place that looks better than Japan on footy. I'll wait.

[Mouth]

Great to see him still ripping. This cheered me up more than it should.

Thanks for posting.
