Obata Satoshi

Obata Satoshi (小畑 仁志) is a Nori Machine Maintenance and also a member of SASUKE All-Star Yamada Katsumi's group, the Black Tigers.

He debuted in SASUKE 32 and wore #34, failing the Double Pendulum after missing the bar.

In the next tournament SASUKE 33, wearing #32, he failed in the same place.

In SASUKE 34, he cleared the First Stage with 26.22 seconds left. Then, in his first appearance in the Second Stage, he cleared it with 16.54 seconds left, becoming the first Black Tiger to make it to the Third Stage (until Yamamoto Yoshiyuki and Isa Yoshinori in SASUKE 37). He failed the Sidewinder Kai, becoming the first to ever fail the obstacle.

In SASUKE 35, he had high expectations, but surprisingly went out on the Dragon Glider when he missed the bar. He has not competed since, and is no longer listed as a Black Tiger, making him the only Black Tiger to retire since SASUKE 29. While no official statements have been made, it is known that several allegations against him arose following SASUKE 35. Yamada cast new Black Tigers following SASUKE 35, and he did not appear in any of the VTR clips of Black Tiger training or on the sidelines in SASUKE 36.
