The SASUKE All-Stars (サスケオールスターズ) are a group of six competitors that are considered by TBS and the fans as the most likely to achieve success on the course. Two of the six men, Nagano Makoto and Akiyama Kazuhiko have obtained 'Kanzenseiha'. They are often given the highest numbers (often taking 97 or 98 and above). They also do events together, such as the Maguro festival and even VIKING.
A former crab fisherman and the first man to ever achieve Kanzenseiha, having done so in SASUKE 4. He has not been able to repeat his success however, due in part to an eye condition known as degenerative rectinosis that has plagued him for years.
A fisherman and Captain of the 28th Konpira Maru. He is the second man to ever achieve Kanzenseiha, having done so in 17th competition, after barely missing it in the 12th competition by 0.11 seconds. He has a record of reaching the final stage 5 times, 3 of those times being consecutive. He is regarded by many as one of the most likely competitors to repeat his achievement. He wears #100 most of the time.
A fire fighter from the Gifu prefecture, he is best known for his incredibly consistent performances. He currently holds a SASUKE record, having 13 appearances in the third stage seven of which were consecutive (SASUKE 11 through SASUKE 17). He can be seen usually wearing his trademark orange fire fighter pants and dark blue shirt. However, he hasn't made it to the final stage yet.
A gas station manager that is best known for his flawless attendance record, having competed in every SASUKE competition since the beginning. He is also the only person to have attempted the first and second version of the Final Stage. He can be seen wearing his trademark gas station uniform shirt and cap (always with Esso/Mobil branding); he has only competed without it twice (1st and 4th competitions).
A civic employee in his home village of Inba, Chiba Prefecture in the Health and Services department. He is also known for building obstacles in his backyard (over 13 of them, in fact), and many competitors have visited his home to train on the 'Shiratori Shrine'. He has not made it to the Third Stage since SASUKE 17.
A former propane tank delivery driver, he dedicated his life to SASUKE after the factory shut down and he lost his job. He has sworn to retire from SASUKE, only to come out of retirement later as the draw of Kanzenseiha is too great for him. He was given the nickname "Mr. SASUKE" because he was once thought to be the most likely competitor to clear all four stages, but hasn't passed the first stage for several years.
