Kappashibari

Kappashibari is a Italian rigger.

Era: 2010s

RIGGER · TEACHER

Italian rigger, teacher and rope-community organizer working publicly as Kappashibari / Kappa. His current public Instagram profile identifies him as official rigger of Regina Nera and co-founder of K Lab. Regina Nera's September 2025 official bio post gives the strongest current public summary: Kappa became passionate about Japanese bondage as a young adult, has studied continuously for about twenty years, names Avalon, Aku Aku, Andrea Ropes, Vlada and Ren Yagami among the riggers he studied with, and says he created K Lab as a permanent space for regular courses, peer rope and workshops with international instructors. The same source places him in recurring Regina Nera context from 2024 onward. Added narrowly as a current Italian-scene entry without inferring a link to the already-documented Shanghai `Studio K` project from the ambiguous `Studio K` wording in the same post.

Influences (mutual or directional): Avalon, Andrea Ropes, Vlada Vedmovskaya, Yagami Ren.
