Name will stay till I can find a witty saying.
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the 25th Biannual Sasuke Tournament!
All 47 Prefectures(zones, counties, for people that don't know what it is) of Japan will be represented today.
Along with all 6 inhabited continents...
For the numbers, they had a lottery. Here is Olympian Yukio Ikenani(Naoki's aniki), the dude that laughs at other people failing but he does worse...he's 59.
Okuyama Yoshiyuki...Olympic Sprinter...Sasuke 24 Finalist...#50

Lee Enchi...Pro Rock Climber...Finalist from 24 as well...#80
Shingo Yamamoto...Sasuke All-Star and Gas Station Manager...known for epic path fail...#90
Yukio-"I'm the best, no one can beat me. I laugh at all who try to win, for they all fail. I am the true champion"(I might be paraphrasing)
Shingo speaking. He's happy...and wearing a skull cap. Go skull caps.
Levi(thank god, English!)-"I don't really see it that way. I guess you could look at it like the Olympics with all the countries competing against each other."
Akiyama-"Hey babe, check me out." jk, Akiyama Kazuhiko, First Grand Champion, his # is 98(champions had #s in the top three, in order of completion.)
Him winning in Sasuke 4...
Makoto Nagano...Second Grand Champion...#99
He won in Sasuke 17...
Yuuji Urushihara...the man with the overly-high pitched voice...Third Grand Champion...#100
He won in 24...
