Kene is a recent Kyodo graduate, and was known (to me at least) for his crazy ability to flip his bachi. Here, he plays at the Asian Pacific Islander Graduation at UCLA.

[Kyodo Taiko at UCLA was the first collegiate taiko group to form in North America, founded under UCLA's Nikkei Student Union. Striving to live up to the group’s name, Kyodo Taiko functions as a family, sharing the joy and spirit of taiko with more and more of the surrounding community each year.]
