The latest offstring release from Yoyorecreation is the signature model of Japanese champion Takumi Yasumoto - The Anotogaster!
The Anotogaster shape and size are based on the Supercell, which he used when he won the 2017 national tournament, but revised to give Yasumoto exactly what he needed in a new signature model. Known for his high-density, high-difficulty play, Takumi Yasumoto wanted a slightly smaller design to help get through his most intricate tricks. With the size reduction and shape revisions, the Anotogaster has become a high-performance off-string yo-yo with the power to withstand intense speed play and the superb weight distribution to handle various direction changes and regens with ease.
The finishing touch is the smooth fingerspin metal hub that opens up a new level of finger spin tricks, which is a rare feature for an off-string model. Just watch Takumi use the Anotogaster to win the 2020 Japan National 4A titled you’ll understand it’s a serious performer!
