Seiko 5 Sports presents a limited edition model in collaboration with leading Japanese skateboarder Yuto Horigome. Born on January 7, 1999 in Tokyo, Japan, Yuto Horigome, influenced by his father's legacy, started skateboarding at the age of six. He has been skating on vertical ramps since he was a child and has been among the top places in national competitions held in Japan since his teens. After graduating from high school, Horigome moved to the United States, where his talent further blossomed. Within a year of his 2017 debut in Street League Skateboarding (SLS), the world's premier skateboarding competition series, he won first place in three 2018 SLS stages and became one of the best skateboarders in the world. In 2019 he became the first Japanese skateboarder in his discipline to win the X Games, in Minneapolis. Horigome also won the 2019 SLS Los Angeles Stop and placed second at that year's World Championships. In 2021, after the season was suspended due to COVID-19, he won the World Championship for the first time. And in 2023, he became the first Japanese skateboarder to win the Tampa Pro, one of the oldest skateboarding competitions in the United States.
