We report a measurement of the $D^0$-$\bar{D}{}^0$ mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ using 23.4 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected near the $\Upsilon$(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. $y_{CP}$ is measured from the lifetime difference of $D^0$ mesons decaying into the $K^-\pi^+$ state and the CP even eigenstate $K^-K^+$. We find $y_{CP}=(-0.5\pm 1.0{}^{+0.7}_{-0.8})\times10^{-2}$, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic, corresponding to a 95% confidence interval $-0.030 < y_{CP} < 0.020$.
