Turning Point
Turning Point is a Japanese boutique yo-yo manufacturer founded in June 2008 by Kentaro Kimura, a three-time World 3A Champion, with the goal of building his ideal competition yo-yo. The brand pioneered the K-Pad response system, now an industry standard, and developed the low-edge wide-body step-round shape with its flagship Leviathan series. Turning Point is known for ultra-precise Japanese machining and has sponsored some of the most decorated competitive players in the sport, including Takeshi Matsuura and Shinji Saito.
