Mickie Okamoto is a fellow Kyodo class member, and she's a wonderful person and player. Because she is the oldest in our class, I think we all look up to her. Here, Mickie is playing at the Mazanar Pilgrimmage performance.

[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.]
