Yuta Kato is a Japanese American teacher, performer, and leader in North American taiko. Among other accomplishments in the North American taiko community, Kato currently performs as a member of UnitOne in Torrance, California, founded UCLA collegiate taiko group, Yukai Daiko, and co-founded the Los Angeles Taiko Institute (LATI).[1][2]
After discovering his love for taiko as a kid in 1991 through Kagami-Kai,[3] a rise-pounding group, Yuta Kato decided to start learning at San Francisco Taiko Dojo[4] (SFTD). This passion discovered at age 10 has only grown, as he has since traveled the world learning taiko and teaching the art to practitioners and artists. As an undergraduate at UCLA, Kato is often credited with starting Yukai Daiko[5] in 2004, an offshoot organization from UCLA's Kyodo Taiko,[6] though he says that he simply enabled the students’ access to having a space to play, and the formation of the group was out of his hands. Kato currently performs around the world with a number of professional groups.
