Born in the city of Chiba (Japan), Makiko studied classical piano from 3 to 18 years old. However, averse to the excess of formalities of classical music, I decided to take another path when choosing a college. Believing that perhaps she could contribute She went to work at the American ice cream company Häagen-Dazs which wanted her experiences about education research and she stayed for 6 years. “I learned a lot but I was always looking for my life's mission. So I dropped everything and went on a trip. I was in Cuba, New York, and Brazil,” she says.

Travel brought her closer to music. The artist's first long stay here was in 2005 when she lived in Recife, became more involved with Brazilian culture, and learned to speak Portuguese.

I learned that music is alive, it is in me. Because of her, I started “And Zé Barbeiro's confidence, when he asked me to join his group, was a very important guarantee for my professional career here”, she adds. With this group, she recorded the CD “Sem Massagem” released in 2016 ( Proac / SP), with shows around Brazil. She participates in the Duos project by flutist Marta Ozzetti performing unpublished works and the quartet of the virtuoso cavaquinista Messias Britto, entitled Baianato.

The album "Brasileirism φ" produced by Makiko alongside the masters of Brazilian music Marcio Bahia on drums, Jamil Joanas on bass, and Cristovão Bastos on the musical direction is based on an authorial repertoire with an intimate aspect, bringing melodies of oriental influence and classical music , but also very marked by the artist's enchantment with Brazilian rhythms and with space for improvisation. In 2017. Brasileirismφ was launched on digital platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Google, etc.
