Shishiwaka (獅子若)
Shishiwaka (獅子若), born 1976, is a Japanese kinbakushi in the Ichinawa-ryū.
Era: 2010s
KINBAKUSHI · TEACHER
Kansai / Osaka-based Japanese kinbakushi and nawashi. Nawapedia identifies Shishiwaka as active in Kansai, born in 1976, starting kinbaku in 2008, running the Wakakaze Bondage Group from 2012 and owning Black Pearl in Osaka; Shishiwaka's 2013 event blog also documents the Wakakaze Kinbaku Salon as a Ranki Kazami and Shishiwaka salon at Jyohya Club in Osaka. A Toubaku 2011 report lists him among Hajime Kinoko's Ichinawakai members, so the map treats Kinoko / Ichinawakai as historical influence rather than current membership. MotionGallery presents him as an Osaka / Tokyo underground-scene performer, Bar BlackPearl master and Shishinawakai organizer; a 2026 Jack Rose listing identifies him as Osaka FetishBar ZOO owner and Shishinawakai organizer, while Zoo's public Bluesky and lit.link surfaces describe the venue as produced by Shishiwaka.
