Takumi Hakamata’s signature model for string-play, the UNFUBAR is now available.
Hakamata possesses exceptional skills not only in off-string play but also in 1A.
He has developed a unique style that combines the mid-air control honed through off-string play with elements of slack and laceration.
To accommodate Hakamata’s 1A style, a model compatible with the Whizy System—one that could be moved with agility—was essential. However, there was a challenge: if a lightweight model were simply made compatible with the Whizy System, the yo-yo’s responsive feel would be overshadowed by the presence of the thick Whizy string.
The UNFUBAR solves this issue by incorporating Size D bearings.
Reducing the bearing diameter ensures a solid kickback upon release and provides a distinct sense of stability while maneuvering.
Furthermore, it features a “Step Straight” shape that faithfully incorporates the design of FUBAR, successfully balancing lightness with a responsive feel that accurately follows your every move.
When you hear “Whizy System with a Size D bearing,” you might imagine something flashy. In reality, however, it’s a model that glides smoothly along the string, allowing you to pull off slack tricks one after another—making it a truly enjoyable yo-yo to use.

*New UNFUBAR comes with a sticker attached. Please REMOVE the sticker before playing with the yo-yo.
