YOYOFFICER
Founded in 2012 by Ziliang Hong, YOYOFFICER is a Chinese yo-yo manufacturer that built its early reputation on affordable, high-performance competition throws, naming its first roughly two dozen models alphabetically (Aura through Zealot) over its first five years before starting a second naming cycle. The brand introduced its first bimetal model (Rave) in 2015 and released its first signature model, the Blossom, for Team YOYOFFICER member Ryosuke Ito in 2018.
YOYOFFICER sponsors yo-yo competitions worldwide, including the World Yo-Yo Contest and national contests in China, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea, with Hong serving as an active judge. After a roughly four-year gap in new releases, the brand relaunched in late 2025/early 2026 with a small lineup (Flume, Hatchet SS, Kilter Gen4, Glance).
