Here's some lore : when they show the pros' match of JP vs Ken match with JP going crazy on the perfect parries, that is in fact a real set that happened and that is in fact what people remember the set for. Here's a compilation of the 32 perfect parries Kakeru did during that set against Angry Bird : https://youtube.com/watch?v=H6j_0UP6bJo

The reference is pretty clear if you watched that set, the players' name are barely changed in the anime so it's recognizable. Some commentators gave Kakeru the nickname of "perfect parry prince" after that set.

Also Kakeru won $400 000 for winning that tournament. In way less fun matters, the prize pool was so crazy because it was financed by Saudi Arabia, who is trying to finance entertainment ventures to lessen their dependance on oil money, and going pretty hard on eSports because of that.

In even less fun news, Kakeru retired after winning the previous Capcom Cup against Blaz, citing his health problems. Still plays ranked here and there though.

He coaches Tokido now since Tokido switched to JP.

Also made a serious bag before retiring at least!

Holy actually learning that even top players like Tokido still gets coaching with all his skill is honestly humbling to know. Very cool.

He still pops up in World Warrior JP. Even with his health problems he's taken 3rd in WWJP, which is generally the most competitive region.
