JGB SHIBUKI

Since 2025, Thomas has been part of JGB SHIBUKI, a taiko group based in Buffalo. Since then, he has played and performed with the group. Besides playing taiko, he has also volunteered in being one of their Graphic Designers as well as their social media person. I create graphics for Instagram, Facebook, and make videos for YouTube,as well as other internal things. I also edit their website to keep it up to date.
