Heterogeneity / Double Black

The mowl® Ambassador Kenta Kushiro Signature Model, “Heterogeneity,” is a mono-metal yoyo designed to match Kenta’s technical string trick style, combining stability with crisp, precise play.

The latest release introduces three distinct shades of black, a design that navigates between classic and modern aesthetics, emphasizing Heterogeneity’s multifaceted nature.

"Heterogeneity" / Double Black

The black-on-black design highlights minimalistic beauty by eliminating unnecessary decoration. Subtle contrasts in shading accentuate the edge lines, giving the monochrome yoyo a strong sense of presence. This finish captures the contrast between serene darkness and the precision structure hidden within—a colorway that expresses the essence of Heterogeneity in its purest form.

In 2021, Kenta Kushiro relocated from Tokyo to Osaka, where mowl is based. This move strengthened the trust between Kenta and mowl, while reigniting his presence in competitive yoyo events.

To support Kenta’s vision, mowl committed as a manufacturer to develop a yoyo that would maximize his potential. Development began immediately, with the project officially starting in summer 2021.

Reassessing Kenta’s playstyle, known for delicate and skillful tricks, the team incorporated elements and tricks previously unseen in his repertoire. To fully harness his abilities, the yoyo needed:

 • flexible maneuverability
 • smooth glide
 • stability and power to handle long combos
 • a solid yet gentle feel at the core

While trends dominate much of the yoyo market, the prototype developed for Kenta diverged entirely from current trends. The result is Heterogeneity, a rare product for mowl: a mono-metal yoyo that combines exhilarating playability, carefully balanced weight with zero stress, and competition-ready performance.

With the 2nd production lot, the Heterogeneity artwork was updated to further enhance its theme of “heterogeneity – diversity in unity.”

 • 1st Lot: The face prominently featured engraved artwork emphasizing the “angel” motif.

 • 2nd Lot Update: The angel wings were replaced with clouds to reflect the updated theme. A circle logo was added for balance, incorporating hidden “Heterogeneity” text. Within the clouds, both angels and demons were illustrated, adding playful depth to the piece.

The cloud-shaped wings hint at an angel nearby, subtly conveying a personal message. Whether it whispers guidance from an angel or a fallen angel (demon), Heterogeneity becomes a companion that resonates with your lifestyle.
