About
The Chopsticks Gorilla is the signature of Hirotaka Akiba, 2019 Japan 1A Champion. Akiba earned the nickname “Chopsticks Gorilla” for his extensive use of chopstick formations — a trick subcategory requiring precise, repeated string manipulation between the fingers. The 53.9mm × 43mm bi-metal, at 65.2g, is compact enough for the fast string transfers Akiba’s style demands while delivering full bi-metal spin stability. A smaller sibling, the Chobi Gorilla, was released subsequently.
