About Me

The Art of Precision, from the Stage to the Sky

Born in Tokyo and shaped by the rigorous world of European classical ballet, my journey has always been a continuous exploration of physical storytelling. For over a decade, the stage was my home and classical dance was my foundation. In 2018, I began to expand my practice upward, discovering that the grace of ballet could be translated into the vertical space of the air.

Ballet in Air

My signature act, Ballet Straps, is the culmination of my life’s work. It is where the disciplined, ethereal grace of a dancer meets the raw, gravitational power of the aerial straps. I don't just perform acrobatics; I translate the musicality and emotional depth of ballet into the air. It is a dialogue between tradition and modern circus—a way to find weightlessness through strength.

Multidisciplinary Artistry

While my heart belongs to the straps, my curiosity extends to ground pole, aerial hoop, and aerial silks. Every discipline is an opportunity to explore a different facet of elegance and technical precision, adapting my movement to the unique requirements of every apparatus.

Beyond the Stage

Parallel to my life as a performer, I work as a software engineer. This balance gives me a unique perspective; I find a quiet confidence in the bridge between analytical logic and creative movement. It is a dual path that keeps me grounded, allowing me to bring the same structural focus to a technical challenge as I do to the stage.

Whether performing at renowned events like the Salieri Circus Award and Friedrichsbau Varieté, or collaborating on new artistic concepts, my goal remains the same: to create a moment of stillness and wonder through the discipline of movement.
