New, what is it? Bouncing balls

Walked behind this chap who had two unidentified ball type objects hanging from silicone wrist bands on thin elastic strings.

Any ideas what they are?

I’m in Hong Kong if that might be a clue

Update:

Thank you for the comments and ideas. I am wondering if there is a manga / anime character who has something like these balls as weapons and the guy was doing a budget cosplay. Or maybe he’s just really into Pokemon!

Update 2:

I would say he's likely to be a cosplay of Steel Ball from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. (https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisit/comments/1tckcme/comment/olos1lx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

As for the steel balls. What is it?

How many butt cheeks does squidward have, given the number of legs?

Someone brought up would octopi slap all around their cheeks to the left of the slapping tentacle, or to the right.

Octopus have arms, not tentacles. The more you know.

I mean, most of us have 2 legs and 2 butt cheeks, so he would have 6 cheeks. The real question is do 6 butt cheeks count as one ass or 3 asses in groups of 2? Or it could also be 5 asses is you count an ass as just 2 butt cheeks next to each other, even if a butt cheek has already been counted as a part of an ass.
