Yuki Hayashi to Be Guest at Otakon 2024

Washington, D.C. (July 4, 2024) – Yuki Hayashi, a composer, will be a guest at Otakon 2024, according to Otakorp Inc.

Hayashi was a competitor in rhythmic gymnastics, where selecting the music got him into the world of music. In college, he started composing music without formal training. After college, Yuki learned the basics of track- making from Hideo Kobayashi and started his career by composing music for various competitive dances. From his experience as a rhythmic dancer, he derived a unique style that emphasizes the unity between the music and the visual.
