Yoichi is a New York–based jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and rail photographer originally from Tokyo, Japan.

He is among the very few Asian pianists who had the opportunity to record with Ornette Coleman, an experience that deeply shaped his musical identity.

His compositional and arranging work spans small ensembles to large jazz orchestras, and his writing has been performed in the U.S., Japan, and Europe. He has contributed articles and analyses to Jazz Japan and has served as a guest lecturer and ensemble coach.

As an educator, has taught as Adjunct Faculty at York College, CUNY, where he instructed courses in jazz piano, improvisation, and ensemble playing. He also taught for one semester at Boston University, coaching young musicians at one of the most respected summer programs in the U.S.

His photography has been featured by NYC Tourism, presented by the Center for Railroad Photography and Art, and shared by major transit agencies including the MTA, Metro-North Railroad, and Long Island Rail Road.
