Zulu was a true Butohist. He was my very first ButohTeacher at a workshop at AsbestosKan. He was a mentor and good friend. (1966-2020)

Akaji Maro & Dairakudakan

All of the members I worked with were great teachers to me.

Especially I owe Masatora Ishikawa who has trained me with my first performance Freedom.

Special thanks to Jun Wakabayashi, Takuya Muramatsu, Kumotaro Mukai, Ikko Tamura, Reiko Yaegashi, Yuko Kobayashi, Ryo Yamamoto,  Atsuko Imai, Akiko Takakuwa and of course Akaji Maro for the welcome and informal feeling that made me feel home at Kochuten throughout the years.
