Nawashi Kanna and Kagura

Nawashi Kanna is the successor of the legendary Akechi Denki, who passed away in 2005. He subsequently has studied the classical and contemporary rope methods used by the police and armed forces and used this to develop his own original kinbaku style, the Nawashi Kanna style.

Nawashi Kanna has taught a number of famous bakushi including Kinoko Hajime and Osada Steve, who has referred to him as “The best rigger in the world”.

Nawashi Kanna is world-renowned for his precision, rope-handling and control of tension, along with his stunning performances with his partner Kagura.
