Akio Takata

Now

I work on backend systems with databases that never stop growing: I make sure the numbers add up and the queries stay fast.

I’m learning to read Japanese: 1,160 of 2,136 kanji.

I’m editing a book on Shodo by Julieta Jiterman.

• I was born in Buenos Aires; my grandparents, in Japan.
• I studied guitar with Botafogo and played in Tintoreros.
• I recorded an album with KIM, my last band.
• I was a sound engineer for Siranush, Teatro Regina and Otomura: over 1,200 shows.
• With Julieta I started Sumie Digital to spread Sumi-e, and we published six ebooks.
• I’ve practiced Aikido for over 25 years, without a break.
