Born in Okayama, Japan, Taca, deeply intrigued by the unique instrument, the accordion, began playing it at the age of nine. This passion would never leave him. At twenty, he decided to explore musical life even more intensely and traveled to Italy, the birthplace of this wind instrument. Later, in France, another accordion-loving country, he studied classical repertoire under Frédéric Guérouet, professor emeritus.

Taca loves diversity and lends himself to all kinds of performances. His albums tell stories of wind and silence, of whispered and rhythmic legends. Solo or in a trio with a double bassist and a percussionist, Taca journeys on the waves.
