Massive thanks to Ube for his help on the names in English and Japanese of all the competitors!! Thanks to scnoi and Sasukepedia and the SASUKE データサイト (Data site) for the kanji.

Yoshiyuki Okuyama 奥山義行 is up next!

Not only did he do world class running.. he's into bikes!

Sasuke 24 he was also in the final but just ran out of gas going up the G-rope

TBS adores showing a family having a meal together!

These are his kids - Takuya and Lilia

As we saw in Sasuke Navi - his son gave him a letter encouraging him to win the next time

Apparently his daughter also had a letter..

What I find amusing (outside of the cute pictures they drew) is that .. they live there.. and they are right in front of him.. why not just.. say it?

Duh.. Because he can take it with him! Lilia is laughing at me..

Okuyama FamilyCam™

The glass has a mouth.. and it likes Oreos..

Yoshiyuki Okuyama 奥山義行 is up next and he represents Yamagata 山形県

Taking his time and setting up for the Jump Hang

He always catches the net low.. always freaking me out...

LOL everyone is freaking out how close to the water he gets.. as he reaaaaaaches with his foot..

No problem with the Bridge Jump

Setting up for the warped wall

Up and away and no problems

Setting up for the Circle Slider...

LOL He's backing up further..

LMFAO he almost fell down in a sitting position he backed up so much

GERONIMO!!!!!!!!! and he makes it!

Everyone is stunned? or just amazed? Even Nagano is all "ooooooh" (lmfao Shingo and his crossed arms)

Plenty of time as he grabs the Tarzan Rope!!!

Everyone's already celebrating as he is mostly assured of a pass

Tehehheehhe I love how he just gently taps the red button as if not to shatter it

Gah.. I'm tired...

50 up and 4 have passed!

Wow that made Shingo unfold his arms! tehhehehehe dude on the right doesn't care though.. ROFL

Former finalists rejoice!

LOL Is Takeda praying? or pleading?

Shingo's back to his crossed arms.. he's done clapping.. lol Takeda staring at him..

FINE! I'll imitate you now.. (lmfao look at Shingo's face)

Yoshiyuki Okuyama 奥山義行 - Stage 1 Clear!

Cool shot... sorry.. nice angle :)

TBS reminding me of my heart attack..

Here we go.. he's putting everything he's got into this

WHOOOSH..

Oh he caught it with his fingertips too!

And Tarzaning his way down the slide

And the "tap" at the end

TBS already mocking the person coming up.. he'll never get to this area even if the whole mat is beat up from all the previous winners :p

Doing the trademark Iketani Backflip that his brother Naoki made famous

Because this is the most proper way of flipping.. the timer has not started :p

Yukio Iketani 池谷幸雄 - Representing Osaka 大阪府

I say he blows this...

Doh.. he proved me wrong.. dangit..

LOL Playing the part of Takeda today.. he totally botches going over the top by getting stuck on the netting

DOOOOOOOOOH.. one of the rare fails.. okay.. that totally made up for it!

LOL he can't believe it too...

Yeah he was moving waaaaaay too slowly.. he was right in looking at the rope..

He's lucky to have touched the rope...
