The Shinaji shape is our most advanced and refined kendama shape to date—unparalleled in performance and engineered to meet the demands of every playing style. It was developed by fusing the natural strengths of our Elite and Spark shapes, creating a form that excels in both control and explosiveness.

Shinaji features a taller profile, larger cups, wider stall surfaces, and precision-calculated dimensions throughout the serado, cup sizes, stall points, basecup hole, and overall ken geometry. Every detail is tested and refined to support the highest levels of play, from beginners learning fundamentals to pros pushing technical limits.

What makes Shinaji truly unique is its feel. It feels thick and slim at the same time—solid and confident in hand, yet fast, responsive, and effortless in motion. Whether you focus on stalls, lunars, taps, kenflips, slingers, or modern technical schemes, Shinaji adapts seamlessly to your style.

The Shinaji shape represents the impossible balance between completely different ways of playing—delivering consistency, forgiveness, and precision all at once.
