Though the time will be ratified as a junior world record (the best time swum by males 18 and under since July 2013), it\u2019s not the fastest time swum by an 18-year-old man. Current world record holder Akihiro Yamaguchi (2:07.01) and world champion Daniel Gyurta were under 2:10 in the era before junior world records were kept.<\/p>\n<p>Watanabe is not on any international rosters for this summer\u2019s competition, but he will be one to watch for the 2016 Olympic team. He\u2019s ranked 11th in the world and fourth among Japanese breaststrokers. Watanabe placed second in the event today in Tokyo behind the 2:09.51 by <strong>Kazuki Kohinata<\/strong>, his best time of the season and currently ranked eighth in the world. Yukihiro Takahashi was third with a 2:10.89.<\/p>\n<p>Another Watanabe was on fire in Tokyo, as <strong>Kanako Watanabe<\/strong> cruised to a 2:22.13 to win the women\u2019s 200 breast by a scant three tenths over Rie Kaneto. The two have been battling for supremacy in the event for a couple of years, and the two put on a show in Tokyo. Kaneto was behind by six tenths going into the final 50 meters and nearly caught Watanabe in the end. Watanabe has the fastest time in the world so far in 2015 with a 2:20.90, and she\u2019ll be searching for history at the world championships with the elusive 2:20 barrier in her reach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daiya Seto<\/strong> wrapped up his stellar meet with a blazing 1:57.63 in the 200 IM final. It\u2019s eight tenths slower than his season best of 1:56.82 from last month, but remains one of four men in the world to swim under 1:58 in 2015 (Kosuke Hagino, Ryan Lochte and Roberto Pavoni are the others.) Hiromasa Fujimori was on a mission to take down Seto, flipping even with him after backstroke, but couldn\u2019t match\u2019s Seto\u2019s breaststroke and freestyle and settled for second with a 1:58.96. Fujimori is still chasing his 1:58.14 from last month\u2019s nationals that has him ranked sixth in the world. Kosuke Hagino, the top-ranked swimmer in the world thanks to a 1:56.30, was third today in Tokyo with a 2:00.04.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anthony Ervin<\/strong> wrapped up his visit to Japan without a win at the Japan Open, placing third in the 50 freestyle with a 22.69. <strong>Shinri Shioura<\/strong> got the win with a 22.04, while new <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/katsumi-nakamuras-100-free-record-highlights-record-setting-day-at-japan-open\/ target=_blank>100 free national record holder Katsumi Nakamura<\/a> was second with a 22.27.<\/p>\n<p>Australia claimed one victory on the final day of the meet from <strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong>, who posted a 57.62 to easily win the 100 fly ahead of the 58.46 by Natsumi Hoshi. Rikako Ikee, the 15-year-old who set two national junior records earlier in the meet, was third with a 58.49.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rika Ohmoto<\/strong> held off Hiroko Makino and Miho Takahashi on the freestyle leg to win the women\u2019s 200 IM with a 2:12.05 to Makino\u2019s 2:12.93 and Takahashi\u2019s 2:12.95. <strong>Miki Uchida<\/strong> won the women\u2019s 50 freestyle with a 25.14, while Yayoi Matsumoto took second with a 25.56 just ahead of the 25.57 by Australia\u2019s Ami Matsuo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takeshi Kawamoto<\/strong> held off a late surge from Australia\u2019s David Morgan to win the men\u2019s 100 fly with a 52.08 to Morgan\u2019s 52.44. The women\u2019s and men\u2019s 50 backstrokes featured wins from <strong>Miyuki Takemura<\/strong> (28.36) and <strong>Junya Koga<\/strong> (24.73). For Koga, it\u2019s his fastest swim of the year and moves him to third in the world behind the dynamic French duo of Camille Lacourt (24.56) and Jeremy Stravius (24.70).<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\"
