Lester Kasai

Lester Kasai, born on 12 August 1966, is an American retired professional skateboarder who grew up in Anaheim, California, began skating at a young age and was one of the original Sadlands team riders. He emerged as one of the top vert competitors alongside professionals such as Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Christian Hosoi and Mark Gator Rogowski. The Madonna grab, invented by Tony Hawk, was named by Hawk and Kasai, and Kasai invented the Benihana. He was the second person to do a McTwist, a few days after Mike McGill, but injured himself performing the trick shortly after and as a result no longer does it.
