Daisuke Nakata (中田大輔 Nakata Daisuke?, born in Ishikawa, Japan, March 2, 1974) is a trampolinist who competed for Japan in the 2000 Summer Olympics. Daisuke also performs on Ninja Warrior, where he is one of the most well-known competitors.
Along with training for the Olympics he also trains for the aforementioned Ninja Warrior. Daisuke left Ninja Warrior for a while because he was in a hit-and-run accident and hands were seriously hurt and his grip suffered. After returning he made it to the 3rd stage's Arm Rings during the 17th competition, but the pain in his hands was too much for him and he lost his grip on the Arm Rings. He has not competed on Ninja Warrior since then.
Nakata has not had enough strength to go to the Final Stage yet. Although he has made it to the 3rd Stage many times, he has failed to make it past the Globe Grasp and Arm Rings. Daisuke has admitted that lack of upper body strength is his weakness.
On the trampoline, Nakata can jump as high as 26 feet. He is known as the "King of the Trampoline" to some (along with Shunsuke Nagasaki, who is known as the "Prince of the Trampoline").
Nakata also appeared in Nirgilis' Promo Video for "Brand New Day".
