Kankei is a dance duo by Tomohiko Kyogoku and Yu
Tomimatsu, graduates of the film and performing

Yamada, Kitamari, GRAINDER-MAN and others. He has
choreographed, directed and performed solo pieces
and has appeared on stage as an actor. Upon graduation,
Tomimatsu joined “The Brilliant Future”
led by Kim Ito for one year. In addition, he participated
as a dancer and choreographer in works by Shimizu
Araki and Noriko Yamaguchi (Contemporary Artist).
This is the first collaboration between the two.
The name of the duo reflects their desire to build
the most attractive and energetic relationship between
