Back for 20

[Homeslice]

Well, I'm past 5 now (heck, I even had a 6th) but I know who else should've tried it again (as he only did this once): Yoshiaki Hatakeda. He impressed me in 6, especially with the way he tackled the Jump Hang - if you haven't seen that yet then you NEED to.

Ichiro Furutachi's reaction to his Jump Hang was priceless; he went nuts.

Also, back to Kawashima. After Sasuke 1, it is possible he competed more times, however the only other tournament that he is known to be in is Sasuke 4. There he failed the Cliffhanger. In 18, he came back, but failed the Great Wall. I think his involvement with the Muscle Musical was the reason for the comeback. In 19, his run was cut all together. The only reason we know he was there was because you can see him (along with Tomoyuki) behind Nagano after Yuji Washimi's First Stage Clear. In 20, he failed the Half-Pipe Attack and in 21...well you'll have to wait and see, or check the Sasuke 21 board.

That's another name right there - Tomoyuki. Hadn't seen him since 16 when he failed the Metal Spin in stage 2. Is he involved with the Muscle Musical at all?

Anyway, I think he should have come back also. Wonder if he will in the future.

[jcastro]

yeah didnt someone say he left muscle musical with miyake

[Homeslice]

Wow. Interesting. So how many people (and who) did leave Muscle Musical?

[scnoi1217]

Take a look for yourself. These people broke off from Muscle Musical to form their own group, Muscle Pic:

I believe notable people that left, who have done Sasuke/Kunoichi/Viking, include:
Ayako Miyake
Sayaka Asami
Tomoyuki
TERU

TERU also appeared in SASUKE 18 (he got the digest treatment) and VIKING. Sayaka Asami reached the 3rd Stage in KUNOICHIs 3,4 and 5.

SASUKE 18 would have been the last time any of the people who left the Muscle Musical competed. Tomoyuki was at 18 but got cut.

Dammit scnoi. I knew I shouldn't have tried to look for more people who participated before posting.

[scnoi1217]

Oops, sorry about that. Most of the info I posted you originally found. So you deserve the credit for finding it.

But, Tomoyuki was in 19. He can be seen in the background standing next to Takayuki Kawashima.

[lostinube]

No no no. Nothing like that. In between the time I started writing and finally replied, you had already answered the question.

Thanks for the correction about 19.

Where did TERU fail because he is one of my favorite Viking competitors

[scnoi1217]

TERU (#35) failed the Rope Glider

Other former MM people that competed were:
Miyake (#46)
Tomoyuki (#65)

Both of those people were cut.

[Homeslice]

Ah, thanks. It doesn't help knowing they were cut (as in we don't know how far they went), but I always kept figuring Tomoyuki's last appearance was in 16 (when he failed the Metal Spin). But it's too bad that he isn't coming back either.

[BLM]

If tomoyuki came back for 17 he would of made it to the cliff hanger or body prop

[scnoi1217]

You don't know that. For all we know he was there (I'm not saying he was), and he could have failed the First Stage. It's not that far-fetched. SASUKE 17's time limit was a lot more stricter than 16's or 14's.

[BLM]

You may be right becuase he was never that fast
