Shinobu Homma, Founder and Artistic Director
Shinobu is one of the original members of Canada’s first taiko group, Katari Taiko. He started his taiko journey in 1980 in Vancouver. In 1985, Shinobu moved to Toronto founding Wasabi Taiko, a small taiko ensemble that performed at a variety of events in the Toronto area as well as in the northeast USA. In 1992, he moved back to Vancouver and founded Chibi Taiko the following year to train children and youth including his six-year old daughter. Shinobu is an architect by profession. Taiko is his all consuming past time.
