His originality has earned him high acclaim within the performer community.
In recent years, in addition to his original Tikuriino show, there are variations including "Freddieno," where he embodies Freddie Mercury, the vocalist of the British rock band QUEEN, and versions using puppets, though the content remains the same.

**Outline of the Show**
"Tikuriino, a chef in a certain town.
Today, he tries to cook a pigeon he caught while hunting, but the cunning pigeon escapes.
The mischievous pigeon, agile and elusive.
Tikuriino struggles to catch it...
An unpredictable restaurant that brings to mind cartoon animations!
You're sure to get hooked on this bizarre development!
To be continued in the show!"
Biography
Born in Shijo-Nawate, Osaka Prefecture, Japan on January 17, 1974.
Graduated from Osaka Prefectural Jotogyo Technical High School.
Started working at a steel pipe manufacturing company at the age of 18. At 24, he developed an interest in juggling and balance performance, and began training to become a juggler.
In 2002, he resigned from his job to pursue a career as a full-time professional street performer.
From 2003, he started performing street arts.
In 2004, he participated in the contest "FUKUYAMA DAIDOUGEI 2004," which gathered performers from all over Japan, and won the grand prize with a show featuring pantomime and magic, rather than juggling.

Currently, he is actively performing at various events, festivals, and street performances throughout Japan.
