Profile

Jumpei Nonaka started taking Miyake Taiko classes when he was six years old, and continued playing taiko until he entered the Kodo Apprentice Centre in 2018. After his apprenticeship and one year as a junior member, he became a Kodo member in 2021. On stage, Nonaka is mainly featured on taiko and bamboo flutes. He is also honing his skills as a kokyu (Japanese violin) and Nohkan (Noh flute) player. His goal is to become a performer who is meticulous about the sound of each beat he plays. He is striving to depict deep emotions when he plays stringed instruments, too.
