Initially, he was seen in France, Japan, United States, Arctic, South America, North America and in Mexico, but no one knows for sure where the toy was invented or when it actually appeared. Despite this, some researchers point its origin to mid-1534 in France, since the name is a French word.

What we really know is that European art already represented it, indications that bilboquet was played by kings, nobles and commoners everywhere, from royal courts to the simplest villages on the continent.
