ZIMA
ZIMA is a Japanese nawashi in the Ichinawa-ryū.
Era: 2010s
NAWASHI · TEACHER
Japanese kinbakushi, teacher and show performer in Hajime Kinoko's Ichinawakai / ROPES orbit. Kinoko's ROPES page lists ZIMA as ROPES leader, and the Ichinawakai lessons page identifies ZIMA as vice-president / Tokyo co-organizer for Ichinawa group classes and as a domestic first-class official instructor. ZIMA's current lit.link and Bluesky profiles describe Hajime Kinoko as his teacher / master and frame ZIMA as an Ichinawakai / Ichinawa-class co-director and show performer; the lit.link bio says he began show performances in 2018 and has appeared in Japan as well as Taiwan, Shanghai, Thailand and Korea. Tokyo Love District's 2025 Jyo-mon listing names ZIMA & Mafuyu in the performance roster, and 2022 public coverage quotes ZIMA describing his helper role for Kinoko's Harajuku installation.
