We all have favorites that no longer compete. I'd have to choose Yamada Koji, Nagasaki Shunsuke, and Asaoka Hiroyuki for my list.
Who are yours?

Kane Kosugi, Akira Omori.
I dunno if Shinji Kobayashi still competes or not, but him.
Yuuji Washimi. If he still competes they don't show him.

Among others, Shiratori. He hasn't competed since 21, and although several of those times were because of injuries I don't remember hearing anything about him being hurt so far in this era (correct if I'm wrong though). Furthermore, he's an All-Star, and it would really be nice to have at least one more tournament will all 6 of them competing---it hasn't happened since 17!  |

Some injuries you just don't recover from. |

Nagasaki Shunsuke for sure he could have done the whole coarse if he would have stayed I think, but oh well.

I miss Tomihiro Tatsukawa, a.k.a. SU-PAH-MAN! He's gotta be one of my favorite competitors from the early days of Sasuke!  |

Speaking of Bunpei Shiratori, what were his injuries? I was really hoping to see him there, hes my favorite competitor.
Also I would like to see Nagasaki Shunsuke again.

He has had back problems for a few years. 30 years of high-impact track and field are catching up with him. He also had surgery on his left knee a couple of years ago. I hope he'll recover enough to compete again.
