Museum of Yo-Yo History


Sponsors and Curators The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections! If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

Released in 1997 at the start of Japan's first yo-yo boom, the Hyper Imperial was a Japan-only version of Duncan's Imperial, rebranded for Bandai's Hyper Yo-Yo series. Identical to the venerable Imperial, the only difference is the name.

As with all Hyper Yo-Yos from Bandai, you could use this yo-yo to earn your official Hyper Yo-Yo certification at an official participating store in Japan.
