Born in 1983 in Tokyo, Takuro Kikuchi is a composer and pianist who lives in Sendai, Japan. With influence from his father, who plays classical guitar, Kikuchi has been familiar with music since his early childhood. He learned composition from Akira Kitamura and Kazutoshi Shinomi, piano from Susumu Umetani.
He first composed music when he was nine years old. He discovered the joy of composition no sooner than he had started playing piano. Based on the classical music he has cultivated since his childhood, he produces unique music with lush sensibilities and rich musical expressions, gently appealing to audiences of all generations. He takes care of the entire production process, from composing, playing, recording, mixing, and mastering, right through to designing the jackets of his CDs.
On Billboard JAPAN, Devendra Banhart, a free folk icon from the US, has chosen Kikuchi's “La Renoncule” (from the album fleur) for his Japan-themed playlist.
In November 2018, he performed at the music festival "Le Guess Who? 2018" in the Netherlands as selected by Devendra Banhart. He also appeared on a television program by the Dutch public broadcaster VPRO, which was aired around the Netherlands with a great reception.
He has been expanding his activities both domestically and internationally, with especially high popularity in Europe. He has performed with artists of various genres and continues to showcase a different charm every time.
