Katayama Etsuji (片山悦二) is a field tester for Daiwa. He helps develop their Level Lines and Level Line Tenkara rods. On many websites or in videos he can be seen using a kebari of this pattern & color. I have found them to work quite well.

I would probably judge this hackle orientation type as neutral, neither forward facing or reverse facing. Generally called a 普通毛鉤 (futsū kebari) hackle type kebari. However, the terms futsū kebari and jun kebari are used rather casually some people preferring either one name or the other for kebari of either type. Only the name sakasa kebari seems to be used a little more strictly for reverse hackle kebari.
