Masaki Ito (伊藤 正樹, Itō Masaki, born (1988-11-02)2 November 1988) in Nerima, Tokyo) is a Japanese individual and synchronised trampolinist, representing his nation at international competitions.
At the age of four Ito began to learn swimming and gymnastics, including artistic gymnastics and trampoline, but by the age of six, following the advice of his instructor, began to focus on the trampoline. He enjoyed the trampoline because it felt like flying.
