Technically yes, but he never attempted the original or Double Salmon Ladder on SASUKE.

Shingo NEARLY makes that list but he hasn't tried the most recent version but he HASN'T failed any version of the salmon ladder he's gotten to. Nagano and Takeda can't say the same.
Also Shingo's the only competitor to attempt and clear each version of the spider walk

Hitoshi Kanno failed each stage once in a 12 month period from March 2009 to March 2010

Shingo did the exact same except way back in SASUKE 1-4 But I don't think that was all in the span of a year.

hmm...
iirc, Drew Dreschel is the only ANW/ANC-affiliated American (because I want to exclude Kane) to clear a version of the cliffhanger.
Right?

Travis Allen Schroeder (Version 1 in Sasuke 4, its debut), Kane Kosugi (Version 2 in Sasuke 8, the last tournament that version existed) and Drew Drechsel (Version 7 in Sasuke 32, its debut) are the only Americans to clear the Cliffhanger in Sasuke. Drew is indeed the only ANC/ANW-affiliated American to clear in Japan.l

Makoto Nagano has never once failed the Cliffhanger Kai (Altered Cliffhanger) while in contrast, Shingo Yamamoto has never once CLEARED it...

Drew's last name is actually "Drechsel", not "Dreschel" or the slightly-less-popular " Doressheru".

Nagano has been to the Final Stage five times, which is the same amount as the rest of the All-Stars combined and the rest of the Grand Champions combined. It's also the same amount of times the Final Stage has been attempted on an official ANW broadcast if you count the head-to-head thing in the first All-Star special as one attempt. I don't, so it's really up to you.
BONUS FACT: This is only gonna be valid for like another month until SSK33 airs, but there have been four times as many SASUKE tournaments as there have been seasons of ANW.

Nobody's final stage run has been cut or digested. Because that would be outrageous.

-Yuuji has never cleared the 3rd Stage without a stopper on the final obstacle (Gliding Ring, Bar Glider) I find that baffling, honestly. Although one could probably discern that easily, I have never seen somebody mention it. I mean, hasn't every 3rd stage since like Sasuke 2 had a stopper on the final third stage obstacle though? This could apply for many people

Have you seen the Bar Glider, or the Gliding Ring, come off the stopper? Have you seen the Pipe Slider come off the stopper? Not trying to be passive aggressive, but... yeah.

The Gliding Ring has come off the stopper if it doesn't immediate lock if you come in too hot. Being on a singular pole for a descending track needed a proper stopper considering being almost parallel to the mat swinging from a larger, possibly heavier object has different mechanics than a pipe elevated from the finish. The Bar Glider was also on an elevated track which warranted a stopper that held it more in place, thanks to gravity and friction. Not to mention, just like with the Pipe Slider no matter what incarnation, when they went for the jump, their pipes rolled backward due to the momentum. Yuuji's rolled all the way back to the start. So yeah, they did come off the stopper. The fact it happened when it did meant the obstacle was working properly. The fact itself was outright weird considering those were the only obstacles at the end of Stage 3 Yuuji has done in competition. The only other tournament he had the opportunity to try something new for him, he didn't get there.

The way you phrased it though it made it seem like you meant there was no stopper at the end of the track, because there is a stopper that stopped the Pipe Slider, Ring Glider, and Bar Glider

Yeah, good point, but we all know how much the Pipe Slider's stopper comes off, while they're swinging. I guess the Bar Glider might be the same if someone less skilled tried. IDK

Interesting fact I just came across---apparently, after failing the Jump Hang in-competition for the third time in a row (i.e. in SASUKE 8), Akiyama was allowed to try a few more "practice" attempts afterwards. He failed it yet again on at least one of these attempts, but also cleared it at least once. Between this practice and his training on his home course, he was successful on clearing the Jump Hang the next time he faced it in competition, in SASUKE 10. Ironically, this was arguably the most difficult version of the Jump Hang (as the net was farther away than usual), and even Takeda and Nagano failed it in the same tournament.
