In addition to performing percussion within ensembles, I also collaborate with DJs and dancers, take part in flash mobs, and lead percussion-only band performances. Using a variety of unique instruments, I perform in many settings, including kindergartens, schools, and dance studios. I’m always excited to take on new challenges together with everyone.

Artist Biography

Beginning with wadaiko (Japanese drums) and drum set in childhood, I later gained experience in high school wind ensemble before studying under percussionist TOY Morimatsu and transitioning to percussion performance. I have performed in bars, live houses, festivals, and commercial venues, supporting artists across a wide range of genres, both major and independent.

In 2017, I joined the national tour of Mr.Children as a member of the marching band, and in the same year made my major debut with my own band, Osaka FUNKASTIC. I am also an endorsed artist for Shinobi-Cajón.
