Yoyoka is a rare modern Japanese given name, most often feminine, built from the playful reduplication yo-yo plus the name element -ka. It appears chiefly in the 21st century and remains uncommon in official statistics, but it gained international notice through the Hokkaido-born drum prodigy YOYOKA (b. 2009). The name is often chosen for its bright, rhythmic sound and contemporary feel rather than a single fixed etymology.

As with many Japanese names, meaning depends on the kanji selected or whether it is written purely in kana. Spellings include よよか (hiragana) and ヨヨカ (katakana); illustrative kanji options include 世々花 “flower across generations,” 陽々香 “radiant fragrance,” 代々歌 “song through generations,” or 世世佳 “excellent through the ages.” Short forms and nicknames include Yoyo and Yo-chan. Related sound-alike variants are Youka/Yoka and Yuka, which are distinct names with their own kanji traditions.
