Masaki Ito (伊藤 正樹 Itō Masaki, born 2 November 1988) in Nerima, Tokyo) is a Japanese individual and synchronised trampolinist, representing his nation at international competitions. He participated at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He competed at world championships, including at the 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Trampoline World Championships.[1][2]
He took up gymnastics at age four. He was influenced by his older sister. He learned trampoline, artistic gymnastics and swimming, but he focused on trampoline at age six, as his teacher recommended the sport to him. He also liked the sport, because it felt like he was flying. He sustained injuries to his waist in 2013 and was unable to train for six months.
