About Little Giant

Sho Takashige is a Japanese magician known professionally as the Little Giant. A Yamaguchi international-exchange organization identifies him as a leading local artist and notes his third-place world championship result in parlour magic. Official 2025 FISM results confirm that he remains active at the highest international competition level, and his Fool Us appearance brought that carefully structured visual style to American television. The available evidence supports Yamaguchi Prefecture as his professional base region, but research did not locate a performer-owned website, exact home city, public booking contact or current show calendar.
