All Girls Kendama Open
Competition Status: Inactive
As the name of the event implies, the All Girls Kendama Open is a primarily female oriented event. The AGKO’s encouraging, empowering, and uplifting atmosphere allows players of all skill levels to seamlessly blend with the competitive side of kendama. It draws some of the world’s most talented female players and spans over three different countries: Japan, Taiwan, and USA. The AGKO is also one of the few ongoing competitions that implements the Round Robin competitive format with regularity.
