Toy Toy Toy: YoYo Performance

The two yo-yo virtuosos Naoto and Shu have known each other since childhood. Over the course of their individual careers, they have won an impressive eight world championship titles together. Whether one-handed or two-handed—Naoto and Shu seem magically connected to their yo-yos. Their tricks are so perfectly timed, lightning-fast, and extraordinary that you want to watch their acts over and over again to catch every movement and every detail. In doing so, the two yo-yo artists, Naoto Okada and Shu Takada, embody Japanese values in a remarkable way: extremely friendly, yet extremely precise in their artistry—always presented with elegance and restraint.
