Tokyo Hirano Videos
Stumbled onto these gems off judoinfo. Those poor, lost souls were using these to prove some superfulos point instead of checking out the technical goodnesss. There's a bunch of jumping around, but some of the combos and counters are slicker than a greased James Bond on ice.

I'd hope someone like Nick might have some more info on this guy.
I bet Nick has this video in his library somewhere. There are some slick moves in there. I'm not as good at coming up with similes/metaphores like brother Chris.
Pretty cool. But WHAT.... is with all the hopping up and down?
in response to sean-- "whats with all the hopping?"-- look at the start of the 8th video (to me the most interesting of the lot) -- he's exploiting body rise and fall -- granted in a dynamic and primitive fashion-- this is refered to as the cork principle-- push down on the cork in water and when you release it, it pops up then you can ride its fall into the ground
--derek --i may have a few bits video featuring this guy -but not the whole thing
