I was flicking through the Rambling Rican blog for Sasuke 22, and... that's Morimoto and both his parents in the spectator stands, isn't it?! (Image attachment seems to have disappeared from the forums, so about 1/3 of the way down, after the Wakky segment) Here
I don't know how the rules for spectating worked back then, but if he needed an invite, I wonder who +1'd him? |

Morimoto was a contestant in 22 He was? I knew he competed in his mid-teens around SASUKE 19, but I thought he went on pause after that until SASUKE 29. I'd have to look it up and check, but knowing me, I probably forgot he had more appearances  |

Yusuke did compete in 22, but there's no doubt that that's him and his parents. Maybe since his run was already over, he was allowed to go sit in the stands with his parents. Or maybe it's a designated seating area for competitors, you can Hanglider Man and Mr. Octopus behind him, who had already run as well.

I'm surprised people still read my blog Thanks for that!  I did an interview with him in 2014 (damn time flies and I did predict he would win and he did.. mwahahahaha ehem..) and he discusses his history. |

For what it's worth, I remember at some point in Stage 3 of Sasuke 23, you can see Morimoto with others on the sidelines, despite not competing in that tournament. I wouldn't be surprised if he was also a spectator in several other tournaments in which he did not compete.
