IKKOKUDOU
VOICE ILLUSION TOUR 2004 IN USA
Ikkoku-do is the name of the most
famous and competent ventriloquial group in Japan.
It is composed of Ikkoku Tamaki, the leader, and his various unique dolls.
To tell you the truth, Ikkoku is the only one who can speak.
He can speak in many different voices.
Ikkoku-do reinvents ventriloquism. Ventriloquism has not been the same in
Japan since Ikkoku-do came onto the scene about a year ago.
His highly inventive, groundbreaking acts quickly earned him acknowledgement
as a master craftsman in the vaudeville art.
( Daily Yomiuri )
Through stage shows and national appearances on Japanese television Ikkoku-do
is seen by audience throughout Japan.
Besides using ventriloquial figures, Ikkoku-do acts out many different roles,
using distant voice technique to imitate various sounds.
