File:THPlogo.png "Yo For It!" - Slogan Team High Performance (THP for short) was a group of yo-yo players originally founded in Honolulu, Hawaii by Alan Nagao at his store, High Performance Kites. It was originally a stunt kite team during the early 1990s, before moving to yo-yos sometime in 1996 for the yo-yo boom. They had also worked with Yomega and Bandai to promote the Hyper Yo-Yo line in several countries. THP eventually spawned an off-shoot called THP Japan, which would play a major part in Bandai's Hyper Yo-Yo promotions in Japan.
