off his nimbleness by twisting and bending his body.
Also with his dance, he uses juggles glass balls
to entertain his audience.

Zange started dancing in elementary school, and
wins second place with his partner in Japan High School
Street Dance Competition. However, he feels defeat when
only his partner is offered a professional position as a
dancer.

Not losing hope, Zange decides to work harder and realize
his dream by competing in New York's Apollo Theatre amature
night, where he wins first place 6 times out of 9 competitions
he enters, including his debut competition.

Although the word "Zange" in Japanese means remorse,
Zange actually has warm feelings toward his father when he
named his performance name "Zange". His father managed an
independent business, but had alot of hardship during work
and wished his son would have a stable income working in
a company. Punishing himself by naming himself Zange,
Zange works hard wishing his parents would be happy
when he claims victory in competitions.

At Daidogei World Cup in Shizuoka, Zange has promised to
prove his own ability by showing that he is a "competitive
newcomer".

Unbelievable moves/ Mr. Fantastic

Showing his flexibility, Mr. Fantastic twists his arms and legs
together like he has no bones in his body, leaving the
audience wondering, "how did he do that?"

Mr. Fantastic started popping when he was in high school,
where he found he had natural talent.
With vertebrae that bends naturally, he was able to lean
backwards and have his back touch the ground while still
standing on his feet. And with practice, Mr. Fantastic acquired
flexibility to perform sick moves that led him to becoming a
finalist at Nocturnal Wonderland, making popping his future career.

However, popularity of Mr. Fantastic is not only because he
is physically talented, but because he is able to adapt to his
environment and go over the expectation of his audience.
Today at Shizuoka Daidogei, rain poured heavily as the show
started, so Mr. Fantastic decides to strip off his suit with humor,
bursting the audience into laughter.

Having a positive attitude and living carefree, Mr. Fantastic
is here to show us how to enjoy living life.
If you come and see his performance, you will surely forget
about the busy work life and learn to enjoy an entertaining show.
