Daisuke Kaminaga (神永大輔) is a Japanese shakuhachi (end-blown bamboo flute) player known for bringing traditional Japanese sonorities into contemporary stage settings. He started playing shakuhachi at 18 and has since performed in 10+ countries.
He is internationally recognized as the shakuhachi specialist of WagakkiBand, and as a member of the acoustic unit Hanafugetsu (華風月)—projects that bridge Japanese traditional instruments with modern rock/pop energy.
Beyond touring, Kaminaga is active in education and publishing as a Tozan-ryū instructor, and he is passionate about game music, collaborating with well-known composers from that world. In 2024, he also took on a leadership role at Hōgaku Journal Inc.
