Kamui(A sword-fight performance troupe)
Established by Tetsuro Shimaguchi, Hiroaki Kawaguchi, Juri Manase in 1998.
They created Kamui's unique style of sword performance with detailed
sword moves and their high-level technique, without being tied to a traditional style.
They are active in collaborating with aritists from different genres such as
Japanese traditional instruments (Japanese drums, shamisen etc.),
rock and trance music.
They are highly regarded not only in Japan but also overseas;
their performances at The Kennedy Center (U.S.)
and Edinburgh Festival were successful.
Their sword performance has been highly praised by Quentin Tarantino.
They are the sword performance troupe attracting broad attention in Japan
and regarded as a group which will help create a new culture of the young.
Current members:
Tetsuro Shimaguchi (Leader; established Kamui in 1998)
Hiroaki Kawaguchi (Joined at the time of Kamui's establishment)
Takashi Fukuda (Joined in 1999)
