Sturm Panzer
Sturm Panzer is a Japanese yo-yo brand, launched as a project in autumn 2012 with commercial brand operations beginning January 1, 2013. Each yoyo release is paired with an illustrated storybook/manga (“Yo-Yo Fist,” an alt-history combat-sport series), with concept and original story credited to G&K and principal illustration (from volume 6/new volume 1 through the final volume 14, concluding December 2018) by Tsugumi Suzuma. The brand has continued releasing yoyos after the main storyline’s conclusion, with new models confirmed as recently as June 2026.
Sturm Panzer SS (“Side-Story”), a sub-brand launched October 14, 2020, is notable for the SS-001 Mini Panzer, marketed as the world’s smallest metal production yoyo. The SS line is produced by former Team YoYoJam member ZhaoYuan Liu (“PHENOM”).
