Mini bio
How it started.
Takumi Shida grew up in Koshigaya, Saitama, and started gymnastics at five. In his own introduction for the Shidaks Cup, he says he began YouTube in his second year of university to keep a record of his training.
From athlete to creator.
A Nippon Sport Science University graduate, he was a junior national squad member at U-15 in 2013 and U-18 in 2016, then a U-21 development athlete in 2019. His channel now pairs gymnastics with variety entertainment, including “Can you do this?” challenges and stick-the-landing contests, with Kotaro as his regular creative partner.
Reaching more fans.
The channel had 970,000 subscribers in January 2025 according to his publisher. By September, the Japan Gymnastics Association described an audience of more than one million as it announced their collaboration. His first book, published that March, brought his movement challenges to children and families.
Beyond the screen.
He launched the Shidaks Cup in December 2022, using easy-to-follow gymnastics challenges to connect casual movement with competition. His stated aim was to make the sport more approachable and give back to gymnastics.
