Cover dude: this 9yo shreds!
Hireto Ikegami from Tokyo is just 9 years old, but he already shreds harder then most of us will in a lifetime .. ha ha, who though he was just some cute beginner type kid on our cover for the new Best of Japan iPad issue? Sure, he is cute, but he shreds too as these pics from Kazuyoshi Arai at Hanazono prove. We’ll try and catch up with him for an interview this season.
