  • Team Hyper Viper (THV for short) was a two-man sponsor team consisting of Dave "Dazzling Dave" Schulte and Jon Gates, formed by Bandai to promote the Henrys Hyper Viper yo-yo and the offstring playing style in Japan. While they went with other teams, such as Team High Performance, to demonstrate most yo-yo tricks of the time, Schulte and Gates had also demonstrated offstring play using the Hyper Viper. The tricks shown at THV's demonstrations were showcased and discussed in the widely-circulated CoroCoro Comic manga magazine, contributing significantly to the spread of offstring play throughout Japan. The style's new found popularity had also lead to the forming of Team Off-String, a group of Japanese players dedicated to the advancement of offstring play, of which Hironori Mii was the founder. There was also a fictitious version of Team Hyper Viper featured in episode 18 of the Supersonic Spinners/Super Yo-Yo anime adaptation. At one point in a flashback scene, Nakamura-Meijin goes to Germany and witnesses the adaptability of the Hyper Viper yo-yo for looping and string play. After demonstrating his skills to a kid using the yo-yo, the three members of Team Hyper Viper come along and give Nakamura a demonstration of their own, showcasing the Hyper Viper's capabilities in offstring play to his amazement.
