Though born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Toshi Nakayama and Chinatsu Uehara met each other in the acting studio in New York City. Their crazy Australian Chinese classmate told them to start as a duo. They have been alive and kicking as Tokyo Penguin since then. They made their debut at CBGB's DownStairs Lounge in March 2005 and then won the Best of Open Mic Award in Fresh Fruit Festival 2005. They have got high praises both from Eastern and Western audience.
The main performance venue for TP in the past:
CBGB Gallery,
Knitting Factory,
Collective Unconscious,
Bowery Poetry Club.

Want to come hang with a bunch of really creative people ? We started a new community and it's hoppin already, called Artist Isles, come check it out, for artists and listeners, music lovers of all kinds. Hope to see you. It's a lot less detached than these social networking sites if you want to get to know people for real.
Well hello again! It's nice to hear from you two again and thanks for the words of encouragement. How is everything in NY? Our debut cd is very close....so stop by when you can and say hello and help us spread the good word. We need all the help we can get.
Thanks for your friendship. We certainly applaud your ultra-hybrid creative spirit. You keep it interesting.
There are now eight BIG STICK videos posted in our "VIDEOS" section of our myspace place for your viewing pleasure.
Some of the videos featured are "DRAG RACING", "HOOCHIE KOO TIME", "HOKEY POKEY GIRL", Yanna's somewhat tongue-in-cheek "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION" public service message, "WEARY OF THE EERIE" featuring characters and animation created by John and some other stuff too.
AND we've got 10 videos up on YouTube, including "GIRLS ON THE TOILET" and "CRACK ATTACK".
We're recording music & mixing, preparing for a release that will feature some back catalog, new material and a DVD of visuals/videos... Thanks again for Your Friendship...
