1936

Born in Kiyota, Yahata City (now Kitakyushu, Japan)

After leaving Saga University, he began activities as Shūdan Kumo (Group Spider) in 1968. Soon after, when the group was reduced to three core members, they staged performances that challenged not only established art organizations and authorities but also avant-garde peers, rejecting all forms of artistic expression. Following arrests and trials during demonstrations, this radical movement came to an end in 1973.
