Followed: Kyonosuke Yamashita

Join our day with Kyo in his hometown of Tokyo, Japan. This episode was filmed last week during our visit for our Pocket Vol. 10 book launch and Pocket: Taipei video premiere. We start the day at his apartment and take the subway to the city where we meet with filmer Eric Iwakura, Aimu Yamazuki and Daiki Hoshino to skate some fun spots before making our way to the Pocket event at PROV skate shop, Tokyo. Enjoy!

[@jayspot8894]

I first saw him when he was filming with Luis, couldn't speak English, and couldn't push hard enough to clear stair sets. Really cool seeing him progress so much.

[@jaetoven1243]

Luis Mora consistently finds not only great skaters but great people

[@evegeorgiamusic]

crazy seeing him grow on the internet through Luis and then all his work since. I remember when he was tiny and couldn't speak English. so sick to see how far he's come. he's killing it.

[@odayvissonsouza]

Aimu Yamazuki style is so amazing.

[@PoopShitz]

Aimu and Kyo dropping hammers like it’s nothing😂

[@matthewwilson8897]

Seriously one of my favourite skaters right now, love his vibe and style. Hopefully you have more Japanese skaters on this series planned, was a rad one!

[@PocketSkateMag]

Working on it! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@matthewwilson8897]

@@PocketSkateMag sick!

[@sixish]

@@PocketSkateMag I'd love to see one on Gou Miyagi, Japanese Super Rat or Ryuhei Kitazume even if its subtitled. The skate scene in Japan is definitely the most interesting in the world right now.

[@necrodefecator]

It's cool to see this young lad evolve into a great skater with a laid back personality. And keep going with the English Kyo you're getting hella good!

[@gandhimahatma3304]

Kyonosuke is sick but nobody going to talk about his homie? Such a clean style. I’d love to see a part. Everything he did was so clean

[@ramdassubba2006]

i have this massive massive crush on kyonouske ever since i came across that one video of his during 2020. He's grown and seeing him do something he really loves feels quite refreshing. I'm a fan.

[@williamwilliam2020]

[@HypnoSkateboarding]

One of my favourite AMs right now!

[@hoshf47]

he has grown so much since his Luis Mora days... nice to see him do such big things and i hope it only continues. 3 or 4 boards a month? new week, new board? that's some rich ppl stuff right there

[@skulls-bleach]

It’s fun seeing how skateboarding we all do the same thing no matter the country just vibe n skate with the homies

[@rollingfunskateboarding561]

Awesome video and his English is so good 👍👍👍 Keep shredding and rolling FUN🛹🌏❤️

[@gnarmarmilla]

Thank you very much, Pocket. I really appreciate these. May God bless you all. Lots of amazing skateboarders coming out of Japan these days and Kyonosuke is among them. One thing I want to suggest, the Japanese language is so beautiful and intelligent sounding, it may be good to let these fellow talk in their native tongue and then translate it because he was kinda struggling with English, which is totally understandable. It was fine the way it was, but I think he may have been a little more descriptive in Japanese. My wife is Indonesian and she goes through this with English. I see that sometimes it’s better for her to just use the Indonesian word and then we can translate.

[@DopestAngel]

Love Kyonosuke frl

[@be3rryy]

Kyo and aimu is a beast love both style 😍🔥

[@clebb534]

[@erickgalicia6106]

[@louist.sanville4445]

Does anyone know the Primitive board Kyonosuke is riding? For him to ride a 8.75 board and flip it like it's nothing is amazing to me.

[@DandyHippo]

An egg shape is like an 8 at the kicks so not comparable

[@fufuwawa1067]

Kynosku I bet could be a good voice actor

[@SuperstituM]

AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@gabrielvidal3321]

WE HAWT! superstitum

[@Num91]

[@PocketSkateMag]

Thank you!

[@louierios22]

8.75 is crazy

[@Kill3rB345T]

8:34 im dead they put the rails as skate stoppers but they unintentionally made it a better spot to skate LMAO

[@SPAC3MANxSPL1FF]

I'm impressed with his english, it's hard to learn a new language/grammar style. I'm trying to learn Japanese, hopefully one day I'll be fluent 🥲

[@PocketSkateMag]

🙌

[@hitojo]

Damn, his back 3 really is best

[@sk8mafia214]

Y’all need to do one with Aimu
