I have met him a couple of times. Nice person! Half Japanese and half
gringo, who i think grew up in both Japan and the states.
He is an electronic music composer and music theorist who plays
shakuhachi. Last i heard he was living in Montreal and recently
finished graduate school, i think at Dartmouth. He was the
shakuhachi player on Yo Yo Ma's recent Silk Road Ensemble tour.
