“Maichiru” means “Cherry blossoms dance in the air,” and “Yoake” translates to “Dawn” in English.
Born in Semboku City, Akita Prefecture. At the age of 18, began studying Tsugaru Shamisen under Master Senri Yamada and trained extensively in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, the heartland of Tsugaru Shamisen. As a shamisen player for the Warabi-za theater troupe, participated in numerous domestic and international performances. After leaving the troupe, began a solo performance career based in Miyagi Prefecture, blending traditional repertoire with original compositions.
Has been invited to perform at more than 20 music festivals worldwide, including the globally renowned ethnic music festival “WOMAD,” receiving high acclaim. Continues to pursue creative expression inspired by the Tsugaru Shamisen’s powerful tones, unique rhythms, and rich timbres.
Since 2021, has formed the “Oto-Awase BAND” with musicians active in Miyagi Prefecture, exploring a new world of sound that transcends genres, combining traditional Japanese and Western music, and regularly holding live performances. Currently resides in Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture.
