Founded in 2012 through friendship, Yuujou Daiko is a Japanese drumming ensemble dedicated to the mastery of taiko. Based at the Japanese Cultural Institute in Gardena, the group is known for bringing high-energy, powerful performances to communities across Greater Los Angeles. Whether through their local classes or their vibrant live shows, Yuujou Daiko is thrilled to share the art of the drum. The group is very excited to welcome everyone to the 2026 Anime Expo!
