Minoru was a Kyodo director in 2005-2006 with Christine Kimura. I've never heard this guy off beat, ever. 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.]
