Luo Yicheng is a Chinese yo-yo player and designer who has been a long time promoter of the yo-yo community in China. He has been involved in many yo-yo designs including the most recent release of the Kui from YoYoFactory. This is his latest creation - The incredibly small and incredibly playable Kun! ![Kun-Extra_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/c/a/dca02863e11bd1a73f848f89bfc0f746b001dd42.jpeg) With a diameter barely 2mm wider than a Quarter, the Kun definitely falls into the “micro” yo-yo category, but still remains extremely playable with a Size D bearing. The chunky rims give it enough weight and spin power to perform modern tricks and with some practice you’ll be hitting your favorite combos with a yo-yo that can get lost in your pockets! ![Kun-Extra1_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/a/b/4abee9a7add4853792102ec81309cc652785f98e.jpeg) Available in Stainless Steel and slightly heavier Brass. The Kun might be small, but it really packs a punch! > **[Yicheng Luo](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yicheng-luo)** > > Yicheng Luo has been in the yo-yo game for a long time and we are really excited to see him creating a new line of yo-yos for the modern yo-yo player! ---

Yes, it uses a thinner string, but not quite as small as flea string. It has a Size A bearing so the gap is significantly wider than the flea. Each one comes with 5 extra strings and we will be selling extra string also. ---

Just got the Kun in. 😃 First impressions I think its a little better than the Loonie. But its way smaller than that. I think its a perfect little throw to carry around with you. I dont have a flea to compare to but would love to hear what you guys think compared to the flea. Seems to me it may be similar to that. The kun is so small it fits inside my 66s. The packaging was pretty cool though. Like a can of peanuts. :joy: ![kun](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/d/9/2d932a4f3283e22d3c9cf8e8fdc68a140b14bd5c.jpeg) ![kun1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/1/2/d120282f3146c0fde1e237cb125a5a75871f4b95.jpeg) (Loonie left, Kun, EB 66) ---

Wow. I didn’t read the specs, but that comparison shot really illustrates just how dang small that thing is. And for those who are curious, the Chinese character on the card is in fact 鲲 (kūn). The literal meaning is: _a fry (newly hatched fish)_, so the can could represent a can of worms??? But I believe it was also intended as a reference to [Peng (鹏)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peng_(mythology)), a mythical fish that could transform into a giant bird. ---
