WELCOME TO THE DIVA-VERSE!
My name is Katherine Larkspur, although most people call me Kat. I’m a Bop It ultra-superfan and enthusiast, and a fairly well-known YouTuber! (At least, I think I’m well-known, anyway.)
I collect Bop It games, and my YouTube channel is mostly dedicated to Bop It as well! Learn more about my YouTube channel and how I got into Bop It by clicking the button below, or check out my YouTube channel by clicking the other button below!
Bop Diva's Collection
Bop Diva's Collection
My collection of Bop It games is truly one-of-a-kind. These games are displayed nicely on shelving units in my recording studio, and each YouTube video of mine is made to bring out your inner Bop It enthusiast and extend your knowledge in the game. Each game in the collection is a unique shape with unique ways of playing the game, with many eye-popping colors and abstract design to each version. Are you ready to learn the passion from the most passionate? Click to browse through my collection!
I try to keep track of how many Bop It units I have. Every Bop It game I own, whether they are broken or functionable or whatever, must be accounted for. If it says ‘Bop It’, it counts! (The sister products Top It, Zing It, Nujam Guitar, and Groove It also count. The UK version of Nujam Guitar was called ‘Rock It Bop It Guitar’, so it’s legit.)
If you want to see the current number of Bop It units I have in my collection, click the ‘Bopitropolis!’ tab on this site, or click the button below to get sent there instantly! The population total gets updated frequently, so keep watching that page. It may get even higher than it already is!

I don’t always post on TikTok, but when I do, it’s usually something Bop It related that I make with a TikTok filter or whatever! Click my picture here to get to my TikTok!
Although I use my other socials as well, YouTube is really where it’s at! I post a lot of videos often, and when I don’t have time to record or make videos at the moment, I make Community posts often as well. Click my picture to get sent over to my YouTube!
I love to listen to music, especially 2000s pop, such as Britney Spears! She is the one that my YouTube title is based off of: ‘Bop Diva’! You can check out my profiles on Apple Music, as well as my playlists with other artists, updated often! Click my picture to get to my Apple Music profile!

The story I was told was that my mom found me playing a Bop It at some preschool event when I was very young. I then got my first Bop It, the Bop It with Shout It (2009) for Christmas when I was 7 years old. Been building it up more and more ever since!

In the United States, there are 31 different actual working versions, which I own at least one of each. I have many duplicates in different revisions in programming and color variants, as well as Bop It units that the sound chip was recorded in a foreign language!

As of December 2023, in my New Year’s Eve special, I made an update to My Bop It Collection, which had been begged for by my YouTube for a while, since my last actual walkthrough was 2020. In 2022, I counted them all up and came up with 112. As of June 20, 2024, I have hit 200 total units in my Bop It collection! And I will continue to rack that up for as long as I can! You can view the total number of Bop It games I own by clicking the ‘Bopitropolis!’ tab on the navigation bar at the top on desktop, and in the Menu button, then the tab on mobile!

I created my YouTube channel on February 9, 2020. I wanted to have a channel for the longest time so I could share my passion with others! And so far, it’s working! As of December 31, 2023, I have reached 3000 subscribers, and that number will continue to grow!

Bop It has gone international so much, and it has been made and programmed with sound chips in languages I never would’ve guessed!
From the best of my knowledge, Bop It has been recorded in the following languages:
English, French, Latin American / Mexican Spanish, European Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, German, Dutch, Finnish, Italian, Russian, and Japanese.
I want to find a Russian one so bad. In fact, I wonder to this day if there was a Korean version at some point that was available in South Korea! That would be so cool! I love Japanese and Korean things!

It’s a funny story actually. I was talking with one of my exes a while back, and I had this thought in my mind about becoming a pop star for a future career, but then I remembered my singing voice sucks. Anyway, I told them I felt like a pop star that loves and is passionate about Bop It.
I wanted to get rid of my previous title, which was ‘Bopitmaster8’. I wanted to do that for a while, as I’ve owned the title since 2017, even when I first started making videos frequently, although I didn’t have a YouTube channel until 2020.
So a couple weeks later, I was laying on my couch at about 2 in the morning, wide awake (I mostly sleep during the day), and I was playing around with an AI editor. A poll on my social media had just ended on what my viewers thought would be a perfect title for me, considering I now identify as female.
The winning choice for both polls I put on YouTube and Twitter / X (when I had it) were the same, and it was ‘Bop Diva’. I came up with other titles as well to fill in the options, and I inspired my options off one of my favorite artists from the late-90s up until early-2010s… the legendary Miss BRITNEY SPEARS!
I had read that Britney got the title “Princess of Pop” because she brought teen pop music back to life, especially during the first years of her career in the late-90s into the 2000s.
So, long story short: where did I come up with ‘Bop Diva’?
Two words: Britney. Spears. -
Trust me. You’d rather want to watch the 2020 Presidential Debate than hear me sing! Seriously! I’ve tried singing before on my YouTube channel, including Christmas 2022, but it sounded terrible! I’ve recorded myself many times for YouTube videos, more times than I can count, and I’ve recorded my singing before. It sounds three times worse than I thought it did! And no, it’s not the software I record it on! I’m working on feminizing my voice a little bit, and making it sound higher and more feminine, but I’ve got quite a bit of work to do on it…

Actually, what I use is nothing super high-tech and fancy.
Hardware-wise, I have an HP ProDesk that used to belong to my mom's business she owned, that runs Windows 11. I have a MacBook Pro (Intel, 2020), an iPad Air (4th generation, 2020), and an iPhone 15 Pro Max. I also have a Logitech HD 1080p webcam that is connected to my PC, but sometimes the picture quality gets fuzzy and doesn't focus.
Software-wise, I use the Camera app on my Windows 11, QuickTime Player on my Mac, sometimes OBS for recording on my Windows with an overlay, and the cameras on my iPhone and iPad. The high quality test mode videos I make are actually done without having any coils or anything connected. I just put the speaker of the game next to the microphone on my iPhone.
For editing, I make all my intros and graphics to overlay using Microsoft PowerPoint, and all the animations for text are done with PowerPoint, which I then convert to video format, and put in a video editor and frequently, I use Green Screen effect on the PowerPoint video to overlay on my videos. The editing software I use is iMovie for my Mac, my iPhone, and my iPad, and Microsoft Clipchamp for my Windows PC.
