MIYAVI is gaining worldwide recognition for his unique "slap technique", an unconventional way of playing the electric guitar using his fingers instead of a pick. He has successfully completed 10 world tours, performing over 380 shows in nearly 30 countries.

He played the national anthem at "Dodger Stadium" in America, performed at the Japan National Stadium (New National Stadium) when "Paris Saint-Germain" visited Japan, and created and played a song during halftime for the NBA "Golden State Warriors". His performances have impressed audiences both at home and abroad.

Apart from music activities, MIYAVI has made his presence on the international stage as an actor and model, with his Hollywood acting debut in the film "Unbroken" directed by Angelina Jolie, appearing in the Paris Collection as a model for Yohji Yamamoto and Y-3, and becoming the first Japanese celebrity featured in the commercial for GUCCI's global collection. In recent years, he has served as an endorser and ambassador for many famous brands, such as the whiskey maker "The Macallan", "Dell Technologies", "McLaren" and "American Airlines". In 2017, he became Japan's first official Goodwill Ambassador of UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).



He is a "Samurai Guitarist" who constantly takes on new challenges worldwide and will continue to be one of the most promising Japanese artists active on the global stage.
