Profile

Jumpei Nonaka started taking Miyake Taiko classes when he was six years old. He entered the Kodo Apprentice Centre in 2018 and 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.

On his first international tour, Nonaka appeared in the coveted center position of the “Kodo One Earth Tour 2022: Tsuzumi” climatic finale, Yatai-bayashi.
