The VR performer team "breathactors kasou butodan" is a troupe that performs a wide variety of physical expressions in virtual reality, including dance, acting, and sword and fan dance. The leader of the group, Yokami, used VR to care for his grandmother and to rehabilitate his own left hemiplegia caused by a congenital disorder. While fighting the disease, he made a smooth recovery and won the world's first VR dance contest at SXSW held in Austin, USA in 2021.
Then, as members of the Kasou Butoh dance troupe, they won an award at Japan's largest and most prestigious dance festival, the "Nippon Doshinchu Festival", and starred in and performed as Typeman in "Typeman," which won the Premio Visado d'Oro Best Short Film (Golden Eel Award) at the Venice International Film Festival, the oldest film festival in the world. They were the main performer/director for the unveiling of Nissan Motor's "SAKURA" new car, and are also representative director of the International Virtual Reality Dancer Association and the VR Theatre Association.
