Kawahara Takuya timing out in SASUKE 19.

Kawahara Takuya (川原 拓也) is part of the Yuya Komazawa University gymnastic team and a new member of the Muscle Musical. He qualified for SASUKE during the SASUKE 17 Trials, where he was the #5 qualifier, ultimately timing out on the Soritatsu Kabe. He returned in SASUKE 19 for his best competition. While his run was cut from the TBS broadcast, TBS showed that he made it to the Rope Ladder in SASUKE 19, something only three other people did that day. He only had a few seconds left when he reached the Rope Ladder and timed out a few meters higher than that. Because of his good run in SASUKE 19, he was assigned #1987 in SASUKE 20. During his run, he showed great speed, but like many others that day, he misjudged his landing on the Half-Pipe Attack and fell off the side of the mat. He competed in SASUKE 21 and wore #60 but was all cut. In SASUKE 22 he was assigned a very low number, #14. However, he was the first to beat the Jumping Spider, Half-Pipe Attack, and Soritatsu Kabe that day. He was the first to try the new Slider Jump obstacle, but he lost momentum at the end of the track and fell into the water without ever touching the net. He returned in SASUKE 23. However, he didn't move fast enough through most of the obstacles, and while he cleared the Slider Jump, he timed out on the Rope Ladder once again.

• According to the official SASUKE 21 competitor list, Kawahara competed 5 times, with SASUKE 22 being his 6th appearance. While SASUKE 18 seems like a likely answer, but that can't be the case; all SASUKE 18 entrants are known and he isn't among them. Therefore, he must have competed once before SASUKE 17.
