FLOAT & STAGE 2026
Meet the artists and MCs bringing music, voices and performance to Tokyo Trans March 2026.
MARCH FLOAT
Five performers will bring music and energy to the streets of Shinjuku from our sound truck.
Actor / Dancer / Choreographer
Born in Fukuoka. Ageha joined a children’s musical theatre company at age 10 and performed in Fukuoka and China. From age 15, she worked as a dancer in events, stage productions and as a backup dancer. She transitioned from male to female at 17.
Building on her distinctive personality, she also works as an actor and currently appears in dance events, show restaurants, theatre, television dramas, films and fashion shows.
Freelance Newhalf / Memorial Artist
Born October 4; Libra, blood type O. Height 165 cm, weight 47 kg, shoe size 24.5 cm. Her profiles include Happaku Dosei, Venus+, Gold Indian and BMTI INFP Mediator.
Miu creates AI art for SUZURI and helps at friends’ bars in Shimbashi and Roppongi. Check her social media for bar shifts and guest appearances at SHOW events—and come say hello!
Contemporary Queer Artist
Born in Sapporo in 2002, VASCO DA GAMACO is a contemporary queer artist based in Harajuku.
Handling hair, makeup, styling, photography and production personally, the artist has established a “body sculpture” style combining a shaved head, avant-garde costumes and original makeup.
A Gen Z avant-garde artist who turns their very existence into art—and has absolutely no connection to the historical figure.
GOGO BOY / Performer
At 152 cm tall, YOSHIYUKI is the “pocket-size muscle” GOGO BOY. As an FTM/trans man, he performs while staying true to his own style.
He brings his small frame, distinctive look and spectacular original costumes—drawing on his work at a costume design company—to gay nights and corporate events across Japan.
His wide-ranging credits include Ayumi Hamasaki live shows, a referee role in Koda Kumi’s “Sure Shot” music video, and runway modeling for doublet, a Japanese label shown in Paris.
Float DJ / MC
An omnivorous DJ who skips effortlessly across Showa-era pop, the ’80s, disco, rock and J-pop.
From “I know this!” and “So nostalgic!” to “Why are you playing this now?!”, the main rule behind the selections is whether Tomato is having fun. A devoted QUEEN and Freddie Mercury fan, Tomato also serves as float DJ for Tokyo Trans March.
With a loud MC voice and joyful tracks, Tomato will make this a parade to remember!
STAGE PERFORMERS
Meet the artists bringing music and dance to the Tokyo Trans March 2026 stage.
Artist
An artist with an emotional voice and a delicate creative world. Rooted in rock while embracing pop, ballads and electronic music, Ryusei delivers songs that feel like racing through the night.
After building live experience through cover performances, Ryusei released the first original work, “Stardust Wish,” in 2025 and began a full-scale music career.
Thank you for holding the march again this year. There is extraordinary strength in continuing. Even at LGBTQ events, it can be difficult to find a safe place for transgender people. I hope this march can also be a place of belonging for everyone who organizes it.
Performance Team
A performance team that sings, dances and energizes the stage around the theme of “changing destiny with pop magic.” They also appeared on the outdoor stage at Tokyo Pride 2026.
Drawing on real experiences as a transgender woman, Satsukipon writes and composes songs that carry hope for everyone to live as themselves, delivering courage and connection through an approachable pop world.
This will be our second appearance at Tokyo Trans March, and we are very excited to create a joyful time together with everyone! We’ll also perform the “Neconeco Dance,” which everyone can join. First-timers are very welcome—let’s dance, laugh and celebrate together under the Shinjuku sky!
Singer / Actor / Model
She made her major-label debut as the singer KEITA in 2002. After coming out in 2009, she made a fresh start as Kate Asakura in 2010, and adopted the stage name Anna Nagasaki in 2021.
She has now directed, written and starred in three films of her own, and has also served as a jury member at a film festival in South America.
Glam-punk Duo
The Daddy Sisters started with a chance meeting at a coffee shop in Bowling Green, Kentucky, when Chick Falcon was looking for a drummer and found Jack Quinn instead.
What followed was a glam-punk duo channeling Bowie, Mick Jagger and the Stooges, built entirely around self-empowerment anthems that are ‘sexy but not pervy.’
Their 2024 debut album, ‘Beast With Two Backs,’ turned heads locally and beyond, and Chick’s life journey as a trans woman runs through every song, on and off stage.
We are honored to be part of Tokyo Trans March 2026. We want to celebrate and empower the Tokyo trans community with our songs and performance. Trans visibility and representation build community for our future.
Singer / Artist
“Any way of living can be made the right answer.”
Rio presents “Gender Split,” a one-person, two-role performance, sharing a personal way of life and values through song and entertainment.
“Live a life with nothing left undone.”
VENUE DJs
Meet the two DJs bringing music, freedom and welcoming energy to the festival grounds.
DJ / Editor / Event Producer
Born and raised in Tokyo, DJ POIPOI is a DJ and event producer. While studying sound design in London, POIPOI worked at the record label NIGHT SLUGS and began DJing in earnest.
With sets centered on dance music from around the world, POIPOI crosses freely between genres. Appearances include official events for queer artists in Japan and abroad such as Hikaru Utada and Kelela, as well as parties across China, South Korea, Thailand, Brazil and Mexico.
POIPOI currently organizes the experimental Shinjuku Ni-chome parties CLUB SKIN and Beefcake, and holds a regular third-Saturday slot at BAR BRIDGE Shinjuku.
This will be my third Tokyo Trans March: first as a participant, second as a security staff member, and now as a DJ. Clubs—the spaces where DJs work—should be places where everyone can feel safe and be themselves, and such spaces can exist only in a society that respects freedom and human rights. I join the march hoping for a world without discrimination, where the dignity of transgender people and every minority is protected.
Makeup Artist / DJ
mio’s first DJ set began with jazz. Since then, the selection has expanded across funk, electro swing, reggaeton, EDM, K-pop and many other genres.
mio has also DJed at CHANGE, the official after-party of Sapporo Rainbow Pride.
Congratulations on Tokyo Trans March! ‘Beautiful World’—toward a world where everyone can walk as themselves. It is a wonderful phrase, though it can sound difficult to realize. Many people worry about how others see them, struggle with being different, or find it hard to face their true selves. But nobody is perfect. Without hiding who we are, we can live honestly and authentically within what each of us can do, building small steps toward a life we can walk with a smile. Let’s move forward at our own pace and in our own way, expressing the selves we want to show rather than comparing ourselves with others. Wishing everyone a bright and joyful future—and congratulations on today!
