Ollie is a fourth-year Interdisciplinary Visual Arts & Education, Communities and Organizations double major from Taiko Kai’s Generation 11 (they know their majors are quite a mouthful). They initially joined TK with no taiko experience at all, but now they’re living, laughing, and loving the taiko dream. In their free time, they love to sing, play piano, and draw cute critters. Fun fact: last year, they ate a whole raw onion for a TK fundraiser and then got sick for a whole month afterwards (and they’ll do it again if you donate enough money…) 

Sylvie is a fourth year ACMS major and a member of Taiko Kai’s 11th generation. She joined Taiko Kai after the swimming club did not email her back and decided that taiko sounded more interesting anyway. In her free time, she is trying to reach perfection in Stardew Valley and enjoys watching movies with her roommates. 

Keoni is a third year informatics major. He's from the big island of Hawaii and played with Kona Daifukuji Taiko for 10 years. Entering his third year in Taiko Kai he hopes to expand the groups repertoire and hone their freestyle rap techniques. This past summer he hosted drum reskinning in his living room and has started learning how to play the shamisen.

Ciel is a third-year microbiology major and started playing taiko in his freshman year at UW, making him part of Taiko Kai's 12th generation. He initially joined because he wanted to be cool like the taiko players he saw on stage, and apparently being part of two other dance clubs wasn't enough. His likes include seals, miffy, &TEAM, word-play humor, and collecting stuffed animals on his bag. He has too many hobbies to list. You'll probably see him around campus more than once #professionalsidequester
