Eiko Otake and Takashi Koma Otake, generally known as Eiko &amp; Koma, are a Japanese performance duo. Since 1972, Eiko &amp; Koma have worked as co-artistic directors, choreographers, and performers, creating a unique theater of movement out of stillness, shape, light, sound, and time. For most of their multi-disciplinary works, Eiko &amp; Koma also create their own sets and costumes, and they are usually the sole performers in their work. Neither of them studied traditional Japanese dance or theater forms and prefer to choreograph and perform only their own works. They do not bill their work as Butoh though Eiko &amp; Koma cite Kazuo Ohno (a Butoh pioneer) as their main inspiration.
