But honestly, I like him even more after watching this new Skate Tales<\/em> episode. This dude is a firecracker! A wild man! And he really brings a fresh, much-needed energy to skateboarding, if you ask me.<\/p>\n He’s a low-key, quiet ripper who has a lot to say given the chance. Throw this dude a mic and beware\u2014you’ll quickly realize why he’s referred to as “the punk skateboarder Japan can’t contain.” Haha! So rad.<\/p>\n From wild ideas to late-night sessions, punk attitude to pure perseverance, this new episode of Skate Tales<\/em> delivers a rare glimpse into the often hidden world of Japanese skateboarding\u2014led by none other than the Emperor of the Underground<\/em> (that’s what we’re gonna call him now) himself.<\/p>\n Press play and get familiar with Kento Yoshioka.<\/p>\n
