Ryosuke Iwasawa is a Japanese 1A yo-yo player sponsored by YoYoRecreation, and developer of the IrPad silicone pad response system. His signature yo-yo is the Fragment. He formerly was a member of the Anti-Yo Team before it was disbanded. He finished in 1st place in the 1A division at the 2007 East Japan Yo-Yo Contest. His handmade silicone IrPads were originally called IPads, but they were re-named to avoid trademark conflicts with Apple Inc. (although IPads were in production long before the announcement of Apple's similarly-named iPad tablet device). Ryosuke is well known for his insanely difficult laceration tricks. His 2007 video, Eetsit Vs. Laceration, was very popular upon release, and lead many to speculate that he was actually a robot.
