Japanese Taiko Entertainment

Taiko is a drumming style of Japanese origin. Drawing on thousands of years of tradition, Taiko groups are now taking this style worldwide. Taiko promises to be the first native Japanese music to spread globally.

Drumming enthusiast Daisuke, born and raised in Hyogo prefecture, founded this Japanese Taiko group in 2008. Daisuke learned percussion instruments at a young age and transitioned to Japanese Taiko in his early 20s.

He moved to Tokyo in 2003, performing with various professional groups before starting a solo career to develop his own sound. Daisuke recruited two rising stars in the Taiko world to form his Japanese Taiko Entertainment group.

The group has since grown, and together the members have toured the world, from the US, Caribbean, and Southeast Asia, and have also collaborated on various projects such as the soundtrack for Korea TV Drama "The Legend” and Japanese pop group EXILE.

The Japanese Taiko Drummers present Taiko in a modern and theatrical style with precise choreography, dramatic lighting, and a variety of costumes featuring gorgeous earthy silks. The concert is highly musically varied, with powerful rhythms, huge Taiko drums, and expressive percussion and dance.
