Born in Osaka, Japan, Shoji learned to play the violin at an early age and vowed to one day make it to America. The Taiko drums, a recent addition to the ensemble, bring a bit of Shoji’s native land to the show. The drums were originally used on the battlefield to intimidate the enemy. It was also a way to define the territory limits as the boundaries were determined by how far the sound of the drums could be heard.
