2024 Taiko Census (LIVE) Logo

  • 2024 Taiko Census

    The primary purpose of the 2024 Taiko Census is to glean a better understanding of North America’s taiko population, including players, teachers and other community members, through investigating its composition (overall size, demographics, and taiko group affiliations) and the behaviors, motivations and needs of its members. However, we welcome the international taiko community to participate in this census as well to help measure to what extent the trends we identify impact the taiko community on a global scale.

  • Individual Questionnaire

    This section will ask you questions about Basic Information, Demographics, Personal Taiko Experience, Economic Behavior, and your personal Taiko Biography. Please note that not all questions are required, and all of your responses will be anonymized for any reporting or analysis conducted by the Taiko Community Alliance (TCA). This information will not be sold or used for any purpose other than for TCA programs.

  • Personal Taiko Experience

  • Economic Behavior

    The following questions are to help us better understand the taiko economy since the pandemic. These questions may be useful to understand community-wide trends of impact and engagement with taiko.

      Please answer the following questions for each group you have participated with. This information will be useful for us to not only measure the estimated size of the taiko community, but also our interconnectedness through network analysis. Please begin with your current or most recent taiko group. This Census limits individuals to the most recent three group entries.
