MEET HACHIKO

Meet Hachiko, RSO’s extraterrestrial brand ambassador who is always working tirelessly with an ultimate aim - to create the most extraordinary return tops in the entire Yo-niverse.

Hachiko was named after the Japanese Akita puppy Hachi, which is synonomous for love, devotion and loyalty to his owner Hidesaburo Ueno. Hachi would walk his master to the Shibuya train station every morning and greet him at the same spot, each and every evening, after work. After the death of his master, Hachi faithfully kept vigil for his beloved master at the train station. A bronze statue of Hachi sits in that exact spot today; an example of an allegiance that is forever memorialized in the hearts of all who knew him.

At RSO, Hachiko and his co-workers are involved in every part of the return top manufacturing process. From conceptual design all the way through machining, anodizing, assembly and shipping. His gill-flapping ambition motivates him to work continuously around the clock with the utmost intense devotion. What that means for you is pride in ownership of the most premium return tops in what was a Yo-niverse of sameness before his arrival.

Hachiko is the fierce yet friendly guardian of RSO. Using proprietary tools, he has repurposed return top tooling into highly effective weaponry to defend the cause against skill-toy haters in the Yo-niverse, a cause that is the quest for the greatest return tops of the Yo-niverse.

ROUND SPINNING OBJECTS

Inspired by the coolest trick of it’s time.

The UFO trick was one of the first tricks we all learned back in the day before unresponsive return tops were a thing.  It wasn’t only visually stunning to see the return top flipped sideways spinning like a “flying saucer,” it was how you managed string tension. 

Although all return tops spin, there is only one Round Spinning Objects.
