Akira Tachikawa
Akira Tachikawa (Template:Lang-ja) is a Japanese countertenor, described as "one of a very few accomplished Japanese counter-tenors".[1]
A 1980 graduate of the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, in which he studied under Kounosuke Watanabe and Ryousuke Hatanaka, he has since obtained work as a singer, particularly in Baroque music in Europe, where he moved in 1986.[1] He has performed with the Bach Collegium Japan under their conductor Masaaki Suzuki.[2]

In 1995 he was a soloist in the first volume of Bach Collegium Japan's recording of the complete Bach cantatas on BIS Records. After these performances of the early cantatas BWV 4 and BWV 150 he went on to record other cantatas and the Magnificat BWV 243.[1]
