Got this off the BST. The seller thought it was a Leviathan 1. Now that I’ve got it, I can tell it’s not. And frankly, I have no idea what it is. The Japanese (?) etchings are pretty neat though 😛 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/c/e/3cea8e6429b2c14f476806993320e5f2fadedb77.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/4/cd459dc75b12be8f05e6312eca125dc2fae128c9.jpeg) ---

Someone! Anyone! Tell me what it says! Oh, but that does look cool! How does it play? ---

Plays pretty great, actually. Has a ton of float to it. A bit of vibe, though. I switched the bearing, which seemed to help, but the pads got ripped out less than an hour of throwing :-\ And the recess isn’t deep enough to take sili. So finding out what she is is crucial. ---

Can’t say I’ve ever seen that yoyo before. The rims look like they were polished by hand and the engravings were also most likely done by the owner. ---

Oh the mods were most definitely done by the owner. I thought it might be a YYU Mercury, but the nipple is all wrong ??? ---

Maybe the spike was modded?? I mean it looks the same to me. ---

That is the original leviathan. It was produced before turning point became a full-fledged company, it was more of a 1-off design of kentaro’s. It was the inspiration for the design of the full Leviathan series. Pretty neat yoyo. ---

About the yoyo- I bought it back in 2008 from YYN as a Turning Point by Turning Point (The first yoyo Kentaro produced). I later “engraved” it with Japanese characters, even later polished the rims, and then sold it due to being frustrated with pads. It’s funny - I always see this yoyo popping up somewhere. I saw it at worlds last year. Thanks for letting me know who has it now, I think it’s been in four or five people’s hands 🙂 oh, and as for the engravings, I won’t tell you what they mean. Sometimes the mystery is more fun than knowing 🙂
