NAGASAKI Shunsuke (長崎 峻侑) 
NAGASAKI Shunsuke is one of the most promising of recent competitors. This skilled trampolinist who is called "Prince of the Trampoline" has won several medals in the Trampoline World Cups[2][3][4][5] and Doha Asian Games[6]. Shunsuke first appeared in the 14th Competition at age 17 and made it to the Second Stage, where after struggling on the Spider Walk he timed out on the Wall Lift. He shares the distinction of being the youngest competitor to reach the Third Stage, which he did at age 18, during the 15th competition (Takayuki Kawashima had also reached the Third Stage at age 18, during the 1st competition). He made it to the Third Stage's Cliff Hanger in both the 15th and 16th tournaments. In the 17th competition, he finally got by the Cliff Hanger obstacle and completed the Third Stage, along with eventual champion Makoto Nagano. Although he timed out on the Final Stage, it was this competition that people really took notice of Nagasaki as a serious contender. In the 18th competition, due to the modifications of the Cliff Hanger, he failed the Third Stage. In the 19th competition, he was eliminated in the First Stage by falling off the Flying Chute; this was his first time failing the First Stage. In 2007 his height and weight was recorded as 5 feet, 8 inches and 152 pounds. Shunsuke did not compete in the 20th SASUKE competition due to his training for the 2008 Olympics (though he was seen training G4TV's American Ninja Challengers on the trampoline a couple of days before the competition). As of 2008, Nagasaki has completed the First Stage 5 times in a row, the Second Stage 4 times, and the Third Stage once.
