Hiromitsu Agatsuma

Hiromitsu Agatsuma

Born in 1973, he is the trailblazer of the generation following Shin’ichi Kinoshita. He started practicing the Tsugaru shamisen from when he was six, and in 1995 and 1996 he won the championship in a national conference for Tsugaru shamisen. With his outstanding technique, he plays original pieces mixing Japanese classics, jazz and rock in his live performances. AGATSUMA has performed in many sessions with musicians of other genres both in Japan and other countries. In 2003, he also made a successful tour on the East Coast of the United States with his own band. His physical appearance also appeals to the younger generation — he has a trendy brown hairstyle, pierced ears and wears a leather jacket.
