In 2011, the Kanazawa siblings formed “Wadaiko ZINKA.” With their unique sibling harmony and unique worldview, they have expanded their activities first primarily in Hokkaido, then throughout Japan, and overseas. Their performances are characterized by their stable rhythms and energetic performances. Furthermore, “Hokkai Taiko” is designated a Folk Cultural Property of Noboribetsu City, Hokkaido. After the disbandment of the group, “Hokkai Ideyu Taiko” was formed to carry on the techniques of the late “Itto Oba”, founder of Hokkai Taiko. Following the disbandment, the Kanazawa siblings continued the tradition, carrying on the legacy of their leader, the late “Norifumi Kondo”, and the late “Kunimatsu” brothers. In April 2026, they expanded their membership and began performing as a group. They are creating performances that fully utilize each member’s individuality and traditions, ushering in a new chapter of global expansion. Wadaiko ZINKA is based in Noboribetsu City, Hokkaido. They have performed in Japan and around the world with their unique style. Concerts have been given in Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, and many other places around the world. Wadaiko Zinka has appeared several times on national broadcast television and radio stations. The Asia Festival in Italy in 2019 was one of the highlights, as well as the 100 shows performed in Europe in 2023 and 2024, where the unique “Hokkai Taiko” style was introduced to the European audience for the very first time. In 2019, Kanazawa launched their own wadaiko school, teaching a total of 50 students and sharing the culture of wadaiko with children.
