Team High Performance was a yo-yo team originally started in Hawaii by Alan Nagao at his store High Performance Kites. Many talented players like Alex Garcia, Sky Kiyabu and Alan Batangan emerged, bringing a new wave of popularity and fast flashy tricks. Team members toured the world, promoting yo-yos in many areas, and it eventually picked up members not from Hawaii. Team members were known for their teal shirts, and were sometimes referred to as the "Teal Army" by others.
THP eventually spawned an off-shoot in Japan called THP Japan, which would be a major part of Bandai's yo-yo promotions in that country.
