now I don't think this has been done on DS yet, so I had the idea that everyone gives names of kendama companies and we try to compile them all into this list: 37th Dama\ active kendama AKO analog kendama Atlantic kendama Aura kendama avid(or kendamadrama) bahama kendama ball and stick co. bearpaw kendama Belka kendama bhc boss kendamas bull kendama bushido kendama Candian wood skill toys Catchy Clamp Kendama cobra kendama cwcs DA/O Dragon kendama Duncan DWI kendama Engi kendama fishbone kendama Flux kendama fortress kendama friday kendamas Fritz kendamas fujin kendamas Gentosha GLOKEN Ghost Kendama grain theory Grip Kendama Hakushinsya hawaii kendama hnl kendama house of kendama Ikeda Industrial JAC Kendama Kabushikigaisha Iwata mokkō Kaleb kendama Kashimaya kayadama Kenbao kendama china kendamaGames Kendama Israel kendama mastas Kendama MPLS Kendama prague Kendama USA Kenholix Kotaro kendama Krom kendama laced kendama learn kendama Lunar Kendama lunatac (@Steezdiaz ) mellow kendama (@Eric H) mint kendamas (@ben wunderlich) Nativ Kendama New Toy in Town Northern kendama Otaken Custom Ozora Philken Pineapple kendama play kendama reinkout kendamas Rizen roots kendamas Royal kendama RWB kendama SFB Kendama Shukar Kendama sol kendama sourmash Steeze SuLab sunrise kendama Sweets Kendama (@MattSweets ) syzygy kendama Tee-Pee Kendamas Terra kendama (@htimSxelA TK-16 Top kendamas Trojka kendama winner kendama Wizzard kendamas yancy customs Yasai kendamas Yonemoc yumu Zendama co.

@Carlos Habbenero Mugen Musou is the brand name, owned by Iwata Mokko. Oozora is the same (spelt with a double O, by the way), owned by Yamagata Koubou. Also the same with Tamiwa, who owns the TK-16 name. There's also the Japanese makers Hakushinsya, who made the Shin Fujis. Kashimaya, who makes the Meijin Kiwami Gentosha, who makes the Hajimete no Kendama Ikeda Industrial, who makes the new Kodama From Singapore, Cereal Kendama, SFB Kendama, and 37th Dama Lunar Kendama (Indonesia) Philken (Philippines) Tee-Pee Kendamas (Spain) Nativ Kendama (France) Otaken Custom (Japan) Kenholix (Japan) JAC Kendama (Japan) @J-Swish GLOKEN is an acronym, so yes, it's typed with all caps.
are we doing active or out of business too? cause kenco is dead and im pretty sure kendama norway is out of business too
Maybe for these companies, there should be a separate section, like a "Retired" or "On Hiatus" companies section.
I found this list from a couple of years ago on the British Kendama Forum @Carlos Habbenero , if you are looking for some help making a definitive list of past and present kendama companies. http://www.kaskaderos.com/documents/kendama/Kendama-Brand-Marken.pdf
great idea! there is a R.I.P section now. yes, @Gasiek I am actively updating. Also, right when I finished originally posting this, I remembered fortress, but I knew you would mention it soon enough thank you very much @azleonhart
Pineapple Kendama! They're a small company based in Texas who sponsor Liam Rauter, Battle at the Border 2017 open division winner.
@Carlos Habbenero Lyon's not operating as a company anymore! Afaik, they're just clearing out stock now, so they should be in the R.I.P. category.
