Jennifer Baik
I知 Jen-nay, and this is my second year playing with Jodaiko. There's a reason why I'm first on this list. But I don't think I have to explain why. Some of my favorite activities include hanging out in parking lots all night with my favorite loitering friends, Bryan and Brian. Wow, two Brian/Bryans in one car! I also have this weird problem. A day can't pass without telling someone to "shut uuuuuup". I'm going to counseling for it and they just tell me to go "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee" instead. So I've been trying really hard *Shu...* Dammit! Did it again. Sorry. Gonads and Strife forever!!!Laura Camarena
You're all the Family Love I ever wanted (you know who you are). Nothing makes me happier than to live in the spirit of passionate Drumming. Bring on the Hugs!Josephine Chan
I知 also known as Jo and Jose Phine. I like laughing, sneezing, and kickin it with my Mexican friend Jenn.Bryan Chang
Sup everyone. Who awdor cha-boyl-pork? Yes I am Japanese, well half anyways. The left half if you must know. Im an aspiring catwalker for vietnamese fashion shows. I've been practicing really hard so if you're a talent scout, I have a tape to send you of my best walks. Yes, I am a computer nerd. *snort* But I'm the only one who could cut it in computer science and do Jodaiko at the same time. Well I still have a few years to change my mind about that... Anyways, Jodaiko will give me that extra curricular activity on my transcript so I can either be a garbage man or one of those guys who drums on the street for money. By the way, only the coolest Brians spell their name with a "Y". Latez.Darren Endo
JODAIKO, HARROWDALE, TOMO, AAAHHHHH, if you can't tell already, I'm a really busy person. I hail from the other J Town of Gardena, where we are known for Gardena Bowl, among other things... Ask someone JA about that if you don't know. This will be my third year playing with Jodaiko, and playing period, and I love it. Third year International Studies Major at UCI, hoping to graduate in five with a minor in Asian American Studies. Best scenario after college is if I get a job with Lexus in Gardena and start driving an IS 300!!!! Just like my idol Aya. But that prolly won't happen. Get to know me...I love people!!! "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -Wayne GretzkeyBrian Fattorini
^_^ Brian, here. I'm a sophmore this year, and... well, I'm pushing 20; it'll only be a few more months now. Kinda scarey when I think about it. This is my second year with Jodaiko, and, appropriately, my second year playing Taiko. I guess my favorite part of Taiko is that feeling in your gut whenever you hit the drum just right.... It's not over-powering, but not weak, either. =D It's just right! Shout-outs to Generation 8, and to the new kids, Generation 9! In the interest of keeping this shorter than most of my profiles, I'll just say that my most captivating hobbies are Taiko and learning about that lovely Island of the Pacific.... Japan. ^_^ I play the Tenor Sax in addition to knowing a few Cuban rythms on the congas- my musical taste is a bit too odd and much too lengthy to put here, so ask if you have a burning desire to know. Peace! =DKristin Friesen
Hi everyone! My name is Kristin Mieko Friesen and I am a 3rd year Psych and Social Behavior Major. I'm gonna minor in Education and graduate next year baby!

Hi my name is Aiko. I love getting lost. Wandering around Aldrich Park is so much fun. I get to meet so many people when I ask them for directions. The bad thing is that I always get the same confused look from them right before they point to the building right in front of me. Oh well, nobody's perfect.Marcy Hiratsuka
Hi, this is Marcy. I really love college, and making Jodaiko is the coolest thing that's ever happened to me. I'm having a lot of fun meeting everyone. For the first time in my life, I'm not the only short Japanese chick! I'm a first year psych and social behavior major. Come talk to me; I'm so happy to be here and I want to be friends with all of you. Here's what I like: studying ancient sea reptiles (there is no such thing as an aquatic dinosaur) and the orthoptera insect family, constructing dress hoops, reading kids' books, and playing guitar. I'm serious. My last name is Hiratsuka, but the spelling was changed to Hiratzka. I made Paul put the original spelling up here because it makes me feel more Japanese. Did you guys know we have a Japanese Peter Pan in Jodaiko?Hiroshi Kanamaru
