and studied the basics of Moeller technique from Koichi Yamakita and Tomoya Deguchi.
From learning with these mentors, Shin was inspired to master Aikido to learn how to use the body more deeply, also obtained a Thai massage qualification to understand the body structure of Oriental medicine, from the view point body and drums are one piece.
Subsequently, Shin was fascinated by instinctive drums and studied under jazz writer Yuhiro Shimizu living in NY. He visited to the United States alone for music training, and participated in workshops by Dom Famularo and Cindy Blackman in the United States and Canada as well. He gained drumming experience in jam sessions on site.
Shin formed an instrument band together with his old friends, named jizue, in 2003.

Solo project by a drummer, Shin Kokawa. (Ex member of jizue)
His musicality and artistry are inspired by Japanese Zen, whose value is simplified beauties of nature, while he is exploring new expressions of drums. At the same time, he is always fascinated to free jazz, spiritual jazz, folk music, environmental music, hardcore etc, as a musician. He finally attains to a new vision to create beautiful music, which has not existed yet, by a minimal material of drum, which is wood, bark, metal, and his body, while he succeeded to install and mix the value of beauties of nature and his favorite music with his natural talent. His emotion that reflects the moment of his performance is drawn into an improvisation with primitive and beautiful sound of the acoustic instruments.
He started solo activities in 2015. Shortly after the activities started, he supported 4HERO and DEGO performance in Kyoto who are current legends in London club jazz. He also participated in ROBSMITH's JAPAN tour, which continues to lead British music alongside MASSIVE ATTACK. With Japanese players, he joined Tokyo and Kyoto performances along with DJ DYE from THA BLUE HERB and zettaimu from KURANAKA a.k.a.1945 Subsequently, he is exploring new expression and play styles collaborating with various artists, such as ballet dancers, belly dancers, calligraphers, live painters, space artists, and yoga teachers. In 2020, he embarked on a Southeast Asian solo tour.
