Tsukuda Original of Japan, the maker of this yo-yo, was a doll, toy, and software maker. In 2002, Bandai bought Tsukuda Original.

This late Showa era Long Spin Wheels yo-yo, including the packaging, looks remarkably similar to the Duncan Wheels yo-yo from the same time period (mid 80s). The similarity may suggest that Tsukuda had a licensing agreement with Duncan, though this is unconfirmed.

Wheel style is the variety with 8 wide spokes. Silver foil label.
