Hi there!
I wanted to hear some thoughts on the future of the japanese mens team.
How much longevity do you think Tomo will have?
How high could Sora reach?
Where does Togami fit into it all? I feel like when I watch his game he looks unbeatable!
I still reckon by the end of next year Tomo will still be Japans top seed.

Ryusei Kawakami won the WJTTC at the age of 16. Beat Coton and Wen. If that age and victory is as predictive as it has been in the past, he is a ticking time bomb, good luck to the rest living on borrowed time, we just don't know when he will fully explode.

I probably spoke a bit early but the Japanese national champs as well as a few interesting WTT events are this month - the picture will be clearer after. But if Togami doesn't beat all comers, his limitations will be blatantly obvious. You could see them vs Fan (though to be fair, everyone looks limited next to Fan) in the German Cup.

Yea true that I forgot about Kawakami, his game vs cotton was amazing. Idk how much of a time bomb he'll be though, I imagine he'll hit the stage similarly to Sora, there not too far in age
