'''S777''' was an [[FPSB]] spinner who won the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament]] in 2011. His technical spinning style was characterised by his use of extreme difficulty, deliberate control over tempo and use of short, light pen mods that were considered considerably handicapped for the level of spinning he was performing.

==History==
Gollumsk8 began spinning around 2005. In the description of his seventh-year solo, uploaded in July 2012, he described having spun for approximately seven years and three months and acknowledged inspiration from older Korean and Japanese spinners and the FPSB community. His twentieth-anniversary solo followed in July 2025.<ref name="vR0fRkRxwppY">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0fRkRxwppY Gollumsk8 7th year solo].

He was a moderator of FPSB v2 and among the members of FarWest, a French group associated with meetings and collaboration videos from 2007 onward.<ref name="book">[https://www.scribd.com/document/740962792/psbook Pen Spinning: History and Notation]. Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref>

His competitive career includes the first World Tournament in 2007 and appearances through 2025. In the description of his 2025 first-round entry, he called it his ninth World Tournament, or his tenth when counting the separate 2017 PDS tournament.<ref name="07r1">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071120033326/http://www.alexsimpsononline.com/firstround.html World Tournament 2007 — round 1].

Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref> As of 2026 Gollumsk8 is the only pen spinner to have competed in every World Tournament event since the conception of the event. He shared that status with fellow veteran spinner [[x1212]] from [[TWPS]] until 2017.

==Spinning==
Coverage of his fifth-year solo drew attention to his triangle passes.

Gollumsk8 created an early 2p1h [[multipen]] combo in 2010.<ref name="vkSmITwrdfSA">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSmITwrdfSA gsk8 2p1h combo ( 2010)]. Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref> By 2012, he was also discussing plans for a solo dedicated to two pens in one hand (2p1h). His later multipen work included a 2p1h semifinal entry against [[I.suk|i.suk]] in the 2019 World Tournament and an entry in the 2020 Pen Spinning Olympics Multipen category.<ref name="solo5" /><ref name="solo7">[https://www.penspinning.fr/gollumsk8-7th-year-solo-4039 Gollumsk8 7th year solo].

	Kondoh first encountered pen spinning in high school in 1982. According to his own history, he learned Normal ([[~~Thmumbaround~~]]) from a friend around December 1984 and learned SemiReverse (Thumbaround Reverse 0.5) soon afterward. In 1985, he developed the movement he called [[Cardioid]], although he later emphasized that many other people had independently performed the same movement.<ref name="history">[https://web.archive.org/web/20070703115712/http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~hatsune95/history.htm 「もっと詳しい歴史」] (archived July 3, 2007; in Japanese), HIDEAKI.</ref>		Kondoh first encountered pen spinning in high school in 1982.

	While at university, Kondoh saw part of the movement that became Sonic during a chemistry experiment. He continued experimenting with it, completed the trick around 1987, and named it “[[Sonic]]” because its rotation appeared much faster than Normal. He subsequently developed Sonic Reverse. His account also records techniques learned from other practitioners and techniques that he adopted after exchanges with them, making his contribution one of development and systematization rather than sole authorship of every movement.<ref name="history" />		While at university, Kondoh saw part of the movement that became Sonic during a chemistry experiment.

Kondoh first encountered pen spinning in high school in 1982. According to his own history, he learned Normal ([[Thmumbaround]]) from a friend around December 1984 and learned SemiReverse (Thumbaround Reverse 0.5) soon afterward. In 1985, he developed the movement he called [[Cardioid]], although he later emphasized that many other people had independently performed the same movement.<ref name="history">[https://web.archive.org/web/20070703115712/http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~hatsune95/history.htm 「もっと詳しい歴史」] (archived July 3, 2007; in Japanese), HIDEAKI.</ref>

An official 2007 profile from Seijoh High School identifies Kondoh as a science teacher at Seijoh Junior High School and says that he had practiced pen spinning for 25 years. The profile lists Normal, Sonic, Gunman, SemiReverse, Double SemiReverse, Cardioid, Sonic Reverse, Harmonic Sonic, Tornado, Harmonic, and Shadow among the techniques he demonstrated.<ref name="seijoh">[https://www.seijoh.ed.jp/cgi-bin/blog/diary.cgi?no=103 「ペン回しの達人」] (in Japanese), Seijoh High School, November 10, 2007.</ref>

==''My Pen Spinning History''==

Kondoh opened ''My Pen Spinning History'' on December 1, 1997.<ref name="site" /> The surviving site organized tricks into Normal, Sonic, and continuous families. Its tables documented starting and catching fingers, the finger used to apply force, center-of-gravity movement, direction and number of rotations, explanatory notes, and difficulty. Other sections covered Kondoh's personal history, naming conventions, recommended pens, frequently asked questions, notable practitioners around Japan, research into the roots of pen spinning, community links, and a message board.<ref name="site" />

The site received wider attention early in its life. Kondoh records that Yahoo! Japan contacted him on January 30, 1998 and selected the site as a daily recommendation on February 2. ''INTERNET Watch'' featured it on February 18, describing Harmonic and Sonic as named techniques and presenting the site as an unusually developed treatment of pen spinning.<ref name="history" /><ref name="internetwatch">[https://web.archive.org/web/20070707210019/http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/internet/www/article/980218/pen.htm 「ヨーヨーの次はペン回し？」] (archived July 7, 2007; in Japanese), ''INTERNET Watch'', February 18, 1998.</ref> The site was subsequently covered by Japanese computer magazines, local radio, and television.<ref name="history" />

===Terminology===

Kondoh published a proposed system for naming tricks on May 20, 2001. It treated Normal, Sonic, and [[Gunman]] as base families and defined [[modifier|modifiers]] that could describe how a movement differed from its base form. These included Reverse for an opposite trajectory, Harmonical for alternating forward and reverse forms, Multiple for additional rotations, Faked for omitting an axis transfer, Symmetrical for a mirrored trajectory, Spread for multiple rotations with a transfer of the rotational axis, Fluent for changing the axis or propelling finger while preserving the trajectory, Slipped for adding a rotation by avoiding the expected catch, and Continuous for uninterrupted repetition.<ref name="naming">[https://web.archive.org/web/20070703115603/http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~hatsune95/teigi.htm 「技名のつけ方（案）」] (archived July 3, 2007; in Japanese), HIDEAKI, May 20, 2001.</ref>

The page described the system as an incomplete proposal and left the boundary between a single trick and a combination unresolved. Professional pen spinner [[Kay]] later wrote that Kondoh's purpose was to avoid creating unnecessary duplicate names and that the method was modeled on the nomenclature of organic chemistry.<ref>[https://note.com/kay_penspin/n/nbde3c9d545f2 「モダンペン回しの技名と表記法について」] (in Japanese), Kay.</ref> Later Japanese instruction has also preserved “HIDEAKI-style reverse” (HIDEAKI式リバース) as an alternate name for SemiReverse.<ref>[https://pen-spinning.appspot.com/trick/normal.html 「ノーマル系統の単体技」] (in Japanese), ペン回しの空間.</ref>

===Demonstration videos===

Hideaki's archived 2007 homepage linked 24 named MPEG or AVI demonstrations. The Normal-family files cover Half Faked Normal, Normal, Reverse, Modified Single Axel Reverse, Double, Triple, Modified Triple, Triple Axel, Cardioid, Spread Double, Half Faked Reverse, Faked Reverse, and Single Axel Faked Reverse. The Sonic-family files cover Sonic, Sonic Reverse, Twisted Sonic, Single Axel Sonic, Faked Sonic, Pseudo Sonic, Drummer, and Symmetrical Sonic. The remaining demonstrations are Harmonic, Reverse to Single Axel, and Harmonical Half Gunman. The page also links one separately labeled submitted video.<ref name="site" /> These archived files are the principal surviving video set directly associated with Kondoh's website.

==Pen Spinning Research Room==

The website's message board was called the ''Pen Spinning Research Room'' (ペン回し研究室). A reconstruction of its migrations identifies the earliest recoverable board at <code>tcup5.com/511/konhide.html</code>. Posts discussed newly learned tricks, preferred techniques, questions about names, practice, and the ages of participants. Kondoh announced the board's relocation on November 24, 2000.<ref name="board">[https://note.com/kaisenspeed/n/nc42e408fe1dd 「ペン回し研究室の移転に付いて」] (in Japanese), 薄幸柄, October 30, 2019.</ref>

A second Research Room opened the next day at <code>ybbs.nazca.co.jp/1/konhide/</code> and remained in use until approximately 2003. The board itself is not recoverable through the Wayback Machine, but Kondoh's preserved past logs enabled part of its activity to be reconstructed. Around August 2003, access shifted again through a guide hosted on Geocities.<ref name="board" /> The later PenSpinning Reference Room describes Kondoh's site as a central Japanese reference and states that its author learned many tricks there.<ref>[https://www.penspinning.info/link.html 「リンク」] (in Japanese), PenSpinning Reference Room.</ref>

==Media and event appearances==

Kondoh's archived history records repeated television work between 2000 and 2007. He wrote that professional responsibilities led him to reduce appearances after 2002, although he later accepted selected programs dealing with pen-spinning history and technique.<ref name="history" />

Kondoh attended ''Penspinning Tournaments 2008'' on March 30, 2008 as a guest. The event was the first Japanese offline national pen-spinning tournament; he was not listed as a competitor.<ref>[https://w.atwiki.jp/pshistory/pages/28.html 「2000～2009」] (in Japanese), pshistory.</ref>

==Legacy==
Kondoh is considered the "Grandfather of Pen Spinning" to the wider community, having been the first individual to document, expand upon and share information about pen spinning to the world. He directly influenced communities like [[JEB]]<ref name="imidas" /> and [[Pentix]] that directly built upon the work that he had done. His introduction of modifiers in [[Notation]] is still one of the foundations of the hobby today, and many trick families can directly trace their routes back to the original trick sets that he published online.

His contributions include developing the Counter concept, organising international tournaments, and supporting community research and media projects. He also appeared in early [[Collaboration Video\|collaboration videos]], including ''UPSB + Pendolsa Collaboration Video Part 2''.<ref name="troposphere">[https://www.penspinning.org/home/zh/advanced-pen-spinning-videos The Troposphere — Advanced Pen Spinning Videos]</ref><ref name="aspen">[https://w.atwiki.jp/aspen223/pages/6.html aspen223 Wiki — Foreign Spinners]</ref><ref name="cvlist">[https://w.atwiki.jp/aspen223/pages/7.html aspen223 Wiki — PV/CV Encyclopedia]</ref><ref name="v3">[https://upsb-v3.spin-archive.org/forum/14 UPSB v3 Archive — General Discussion]</ref>

	[[~~Category~~:~~Notable Spinners~~]]		== History ==

			Zombo was active by approximately 2003, when Aaron C. Robertson interviewed him for ''Pen Spinning 3K''. His precise starting date is unconfirmed.<ref name="psbook">[https://www.scribd.com/document/724045904/PS-Book Pen Spinning: History and Notation], particularly the English-community history, international-tournament history, trick dictionary and PS3K bibliography.</ref>

			Contemporary Japanese community documentation identifies him as a Canadian spinner living in a French-speaking region. It describes his frequent participation on UPSB, including welcoming new members, and records his involvement with [[FPSB]].<ref name="aspen" />

			Following the closure of UPSB v2, he joined UCPSB’s moderation team during its January 2006 relaunch.<ref name="psbook" /> He remained active during the UPSB v3 era, posting announcements concerning tournaments, podcasts, the wiki and the Research Department.<ref name="v3" />

			== Spinning ==

			=== Influential spinning ===

			==== Counter ====
			Zombo is credited with originating the '''Counter''' concept. A Counter interrupts a trick partway through its motion and reverses its direction, usually through a fingerless push, bringing the pen back towards its starting position. This produces a hybrid of movements in opposite directions.<ref name="terms">[https://pentricks.wordpress.com/how-to-do-pen-tricks-pen-spinning-tutorials/finger-slots-numbering/ Pen Tricks — Pen Spinning Terms]</ref>
			<ref name="troposphere" />

			==== Basketball Spin ====
			Zombo devised and popularised the [[Basketball Spin]]. A 2004 recording shows him performing Basketball Spin 2.0 with a green [[RSVP MX]]. He also demonstrated a double transfer between fingertips.<ref name="psbook" />

			==== Zombo Trick ====
			The '''Zombo Trick''', an archaic trick name used in Korean terminology, refers to an IndexAround Reverse caught on the index finger alone. The historical dictionary gives its notation as '''IA rev 0.75 12-11'''.<ref name="psbook" />

			=== Collaboration videos ====

			Zombo appeared in ''UPSB + Pendolsa Collaboration Video Part 2'', also circulated as ''Superhandz Part 2''. The contemporary video index places his entry after Phoenix and before GPC.<ref name="cvlist" />

			Other appearances recorded in contemporary community documentation include ''FPSB Collab 1st'' and ''Revival''.<ref name="aspen" />

			== Community involvement ==

			=== Early competitions ===

			As a Battle Records Committee member, Zombo proposed the unrealised Universal Pen Spinning League in 2004. On 14 January 2005, he announced ''Capture the Throne'', a ten-round challenge competition.<ref name="psbook" />

			=== International tournaments ===

			Zombo organised the 2007 Team Spinning Tournament, involving sixteen teams from eight boards. Its singles-and-doubles format and managerial pairing rules helped inform later World Cups.<ref name="psbook" />

			He worked with [[CrAsH]] on World Cup 2008 and World Tournament 2009, and organised World Tournament 2011. World Cup 2014 is identified as his final tournament.<ref name="psbook" />
