I kinda have a soft side for Takamasa Nagasaki who really couldn't get out of his brother's shadow. Really ANYONE who fell of the face of the earth lately are like this for me. Takayuki Kawashima, Keita Tomino, Tomoyuki... the list goes on.

Theme songs:
Tomohiro Tatsukawa (old 1978 Superman movie theme)
Toyohisa Iijima ("Enter the Dragon" theme in all but one of his appearances when he walks onto the start)
Takuya Kawahara ("Insania" by Edguy, 2000s Finnish power metal is awesome)
Kinnikun Nakayama (see Kawahara)
Personality:
Paul Anthony Terek (hilarious in interview from SASUKE 17; "Would you like to compete again?" Paul: "Like in another 10 minutes? Yeah!")
Other: Haniho Heniha (overstayed a visa from the early '90s, learned Japanese in his time there as he spoke Japanese to the reporter after his failure)

Koji Yamada due to G4 butchering his first name as Yasushi for some reason.
Daisuke Morikami for making his entrance in stage one riding his bike.

Ken Hasegawa. Hell if I know. He's exactly who I was going to say as well. And I'm equally unable to put my finger on why I like him. I'd also say Eiichi Miura, for much the same (non) reason. Honorable mentions: Minoru Matsumoto, James Okada, Shoei, and Atsushi Hirata. |

I've always really liked Asa, and I think it's 50% his theme music is great, and 50% I love how much effort he puts into the embroidered shorts, back paint etc.
As for liking a competitor for a truly random reason, I can't actually think of one! Probably because there's a lot of tournaments I haven't actually watched in full.

Koji Yamada due to G4 butchering his first name as Yasushi for some reason. I think I remember hearing that G4 did that to prevent confusion with Katsumi Yamada. Because, you know, just randomly changing a guy's name is fine. [/s] OT: I'd probably have to second Eiichi Miura. No idea why that silver-garbed construction worker always stuck with me, but he was one of my favorite competitors of early Sasuke. |

For me it would be Iijima Toyohisa, who always seems to have the potential to go far but fails the first stage every time (except SASUKE 1) due to his hilarious showboating and time-wasting. Plus, who can resist enjoying a Bruce Lee impersonator on SASUKE?

Ishikawa Terukazu. He’s just such an interesting character that nobody seems to remember.

Yusa Masami, purely because she is the first ever woman *not counting Igano Hibari* to reach Soritatsu Kabe. And who could forgot her performance in SASUKE 13?

Kuramochi. The octopus guy really is something. And probably Iketani.
For celebrities, Tomoko Kaneda (Wataru Mori's wife) since her voice is... interesting to say the least. I'm also rooting for the A.B.C-Z guys to go further down the competition.

I actually like Wataru Mori because his name, Wataru, is the same as a character I really like in Pokemon. The Kanto E4/Johto champion Lance is called Wataru in the Japanese versions. |

Akira Omori because he's literally a comedian who made it to the Final Stage three times in a row; it's so niche, especially because the other athlete comedians like Wakky and Kinnikun never made it anywhere close.
