Yo-Yo Ninja Boyedit this page

From YoYo Wiki

Yo-Yo Ninja Boy was an online animated cartoon about a young boy training to become a yo-yo master. He trained at his grandfathers dojo, his grandfather was a yo-yo master. There were 6 (?) episodes of yo-yo ninja boy where he eventually wins the world yo-yo contest.

The cartoon was conceived by Alex Ross and an associate of the company and then produced L Fenton and Alex Ross by of Spot Box, Inc., a small start-up company in Santa Clara, California, that specialized in web technologies for on-line entertainment. The company left the yo-yoing community, but, it didn't take us long to find them, and for them to find us. Soon they were putting profiles of professional yo-yoers, like Steve Brown and Doctor Popular, on their website and Duncan released a limited edition "Yo-Yo Ninja Boy Freehand" that today sells for lots of money on ebay. Although a following for Yo-Yo Ninja Boy was starting to build, Spot Box, Inc., was unable to obtain funding for future episodes of "Yo-Yo Ninja Boy," and the cartoon was cancelled after a few episodes. An animated 3d version was also in consideration.
