Koki MIURA
Profile
Koki Miura’s taiko journey started when he joined his high school’s taiko club. He entered the Kodo Apprentice Centre in 2011, and became a Kodo member in 2014. On stage, he is featured mainly on taiko drums, metal percussion instruments, vocals, and in dance pieces. Miura was the O-daiko (big drum) soloist on Kodo’s One Earth Tours in Europe in 2020 and 2022. His enthusiasm for learning and sharing regional folk arts has led him to develop new dance-centered pieces for the Kodo stage. For Kodo’s 40th Anniversary touring productions, he incorporated Sado Island folk arts into two dynamic new numbers: Hitohi in the Tsuzumi programme (2020), and Okoshi in Warabe (2021). In recent years, Miura has also been teaching and mentoring the ensemble’s newcomers.
