Bio

When talking about Yano, his style could be metaphorically expressed as the “Kabuki-Mono”, an old saying from Edo-era meaning “the One of a Kind." Always accept the “New and Fresh," and just like the way of Samurai, very courageous in supporting others. Doesn’t matter if it turns out to be a losing game, always challenge and fight for one’s pride with great dignity. Yano strongly demonstrates this long-forgotten identity and the important spiritual concept of Japanese. And what’s so fascinating is that this young “Samurai” chose Oakley as a partner without any hesitation.
