Large. Stable. And still surprisingly light on the string.

CHIHIRO sits toward the larger end of classic yo-yo sizing — especially the diameter stands out right away. It is larger than many modern performance yo-yos, but it never feels exaggerated or hard to handle. Quite the opposite: it feels comfortable in the hand, controlled on the string, and surprisingly light-footed in play.

This is where YoYoEmpire found a really strong sweet spot. Thanks to its size and high-quality 7075 aluminum construction, CHIHIRO delivers plenty of stability and power, while still avoiding any sluggish feel. It almost flies through tricks, staying calm, clean, and predictable at the same time.

CHIHIRO is also especially interesting for 5A players. The slightly larger diameter adds control, stability on the string, and a very confident feel — all of which can be extremely helpful for counterweight play.

Visually, the yo-yo stays beautifully understated. The engravings are extremely minimalistic, making it a great choice for players who prefer a clean, premium performance yo-yo without loud graphics.

Combined with a string-centering stainless steel concave bearing, 19 mm slim silicone pads, and excellent machining quality, CHIHIRO becomes a very complete package. Plenty of power, plenty of control, modern performance — and a really strong price-performance ratio.
