When SPYY released the Ronin, Taka emailed Steve and was like “Hey you should hit me up if you’re going to use a Japanese name for a yo-yo”. I’m into Japanese martial arts and the history of the samurai, and I liked both the “masterless samurai” idea and the connection of the literal translation (“wave man”) with surfing.

But Taka was like “in modern Japanese that word really means someone who failed their exams and is now unemployed”. LOL. Luckily was was a good yo-yo and it did ok.

“Yo-yo” in Canada unfortunately.
This trademark restriction in Canada is pretty silly.
