BIO。
Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, KADERA embodies a unique fusion of deep cultural heritage, artistic rigor, and an adventurous spirit. Her journey is a testament to the power of diverse influences and her own explorations in art, literature, and movement.
KADERA's maternal grandfather, a medical doctor and military physician, popularized X-rays in Japan as a radiologist. This legacy of scientific inquiry instilled in her an early fascination with structure and well-being. On her father's side, a connection to a major Japanese shipping company meant early exposure to international cultures and ideas through overseas travel and hosting foreign guests.
Growing up in such an environment, KADERA received extensive art education from a young age, alongside a strong foundation in classical Japanese culture. While initially drawn to medicine, attending a high-achieving school, she eventually followed an innate pull towards artistic expression, leading her to a prestigious art university. There, she specialized in Traditional Japanese Craft Art, focusing on Urushi Craft Art and industrial interior furniture design, laying a robust foundation in fundamental art skills like drawing, color theory, and design.
Her career path has been distinctively vibrant. After graduating, she joined a renowned publishing house specializing in children's literature as a designer. Her talent was quickly recognized by the company president, who moved her to the highly competitive editorial department. Here, her proposals for character-based educational toys and card games became industry bestsellers, selling over a million copies and solidifying her knack for impactful content creation.
Throughout her editorial career, KADERA nurtured a passion for artistic expression, discovering dance as a hobby that swiftly evolved into a profession. Specializing in belly dance, she trained extensively in Turkey, performed with gypsy clarinetists, and quickly transitioned from student to sought-after performer and instructor.
KADERA's unique performance style seamlessly blends dance with elements of physical science, art, culture, history, literature, and poetry, creating a graceful and mysterious flow. Her dynamic and sensual drum solo improvisations are a testament to her rhythmic prowess. Having found physical and mental healing through dance, she transformed into the serene and powerful artist she is today. Her diverse background in literature, art, philosophy, and life's unexpected twists continues to shape her singular artistic identity.
Beyond the stage, KADERA's holistic approach to well-being led her to become a certified personal trainer, combining her art education and interest in anatomy to design original lessons for dancers and offer personalized private training sessions. Balancing her roles as a freelance performer, instructor, and writer, she is a true independent force, believing that modern technology empowers individuals to achieve great things.
"As the body rises from the earth and soars towards the sky, it traces a clear, beautiful, and powerful form. It is filled with the passion to swing and sway, reaching the farthest corners of the universe. Even if it defies precise understanding, dance reawakens the forgotten feeling of uplifting, akin to prayer. Its essence is the highest expression of the self.”
Through her art and life, KADERA strives to deliver high-quality work and identify subtle nuances. She aims to offer the very best in whatever she does, leveraging the rich experiences and opportunities life has bestowed upon her.
