Akira Kasai (1943) is a Japanese butoh dancer and choreographer, who despite being significantly younger than mentors Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata, is considered to be pioneers of the art form along with them. Kasai trained in other forms of dance, but turned to butoh in the 1960s when he met and began to work with these two men. He started his own studio in 1971 but closed it in 1979 to move and study Eurythmy in Germany. He did not dance professionally at the time and for years after his return to Japan in 1986 he stayed off the stage stating that he felt too disconnected from Japanese society to perform. He returned to professional dance in 1994, with the work Saraphita and revived his studio Tenshi kan, now influenced by Eurythmy and other dance principles. He has since performed, c

He returned to professional dance in 1994, with the work Saraphita and revived his studio Tenshi kan, now influenced by Eurythmy and other dance principles. He has since performed, choreographed and taught in Asia, the Americas and Europe, but his choreography is sufficiently different from most other butoh that its authenticity has been questioned. (en)
  • Akira Kasai (nacido en 1943)​ es un bailarín, maestro y coreógrafo de butō. Quien a pesar de ser mucho más joven que sus mentores Kazuo Ohno y Tatsumi Hijikata, es considerado junto a ellos como pionero de este arte. Kasai había estudiado otras formas de baile, pero se decidió por el butoh en la década de 1960 cuando conoció y empezó a trabajar con estos dos hombres. Abrió su propio estudio en 1971, sin embargo lo cerró ocho años después cuando se mudó a Alemania para estudiar euritmia. En ese entonces no bailaba de manera profesional y tras su regreso a Japón se mantuvo muchos años fuera de los escenarios, debido a que adimitió sentirse muy desconectado de la sociedad japonesa como para presentarse. Fue hasta 1994 cuando volvió a los escenarios de manera profesional con un trabajo llamado Saraphitia y desde ahí no sólo presentaba sus piezas como solista, sino que también empezó a ser coreógrafo de distintos bailarines renombrados de butoh contemporáneo.​ También revivió su antiguo estudio llamado Tenshikan, pero ahora se veía influenciado por la euritimia y otros principios de danza. Desde ese entonces se ha presentado, coreografiado y enseñado en distintos continentes como Asia, Europa y América. Pero la autenticidad de su coreografía ha sido cuestionada por ser muy diferente de otros tipos de butoh. (es)
