Era: 2000s
KINBAKUSHI · PERFORMER · OWNER
Japanese kinbakushi, performer and ARCADIA Tokyo owner / organizer. Nawapedia gives his birth date as April 6, 1966 in Osaka, describes him as self-taught, influenced by Nagare Aotsuki and Ero Ouji, and places him in the ARCADIA Osaka orbit before becoming general manager of Nagare's ARCADIA Tokyo in 2009 and owner in 2014. The official Doyama Tessin profile says his first kinbaku show was in 2005, that he has continued many shows and AV kinbakushi credits, and identifies him as owner of Kabukicho SM bar ARCADIA TOKYO and organizer of the rope group Bakkushinkai. ARCADIA Tokyo's official site gives the Kabukicho address, lists the monthly Bakkushinkai event, and directs studio-rental inquiries to Doyama. Kinbaku Today's 2018 Arcadia Tokyo review also describes Doyama as the Tokyo location's general manager, moving from Osaka when Arcadia expanded to Tokyo in 2009.

How to read it
Vertical position is time: the 1800s at the
top, the 2020s at the bottom. Cards are coloured by
school or lineage; lines between them carry
the relationship type:
deshi — direct apprenticeship
influence — peer study, mentorship
thinner colours — venue, magazine, production
card colour = school / lineage

Filters in the top bar narrow by era, entity type, or

Caveats
Inclusion is selective: a person or studio appears only when
there's enough public evidence to anchor them meaningfully.
Missing birth years are deliberate — many practitioners don't
publicise them. Errors and gaps will exist; corrections
