Itō Yoshiki (伊藤 圭紀) won the Miyazaki Beach Sportsman No. 1 competition. The grand prize was an automatic berth in SASUKE 23. In the tournament, he performed very well. Despite almost slipping on the Log Grip at the end of its track, he recovered and managed to clear all of the obstacles in the First Stage and finished with seconds left on the clock. He then went out in the Second Stage on the Salmon Ladder, which wreaked havoc that day, taking out five contestants. For Itō, he made it to the sixth level successfully, but when trying to make it to the seventh and final level, he only managed to get the right side of the bar on the top level and his grip gave way.
He competed in SASUKE 24 and wore #83. However, his run was all cut. He ended up failing the Log Grip.
He competed again in SASUKE 25 and was shown to have failed the Log Grip once again in the commercial for the tournament. He was once again fully cut from the actual broadcast.
