Sw Upanishad: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:56, 22 June 2013

(Shoukichi Kina : 喜納昌吉 aka Kina Shōkichi)

Upanishad was born in 1948 in Okinawa, Japan. He is a Japanese rock musician and politician. He, along with his band Champloose, played a large role in the Japanese home-grown "folk rock" scene in the 70s and 80s. His first big hit was Haisai Ojisan (Hey, old man) in 1972, which he wrote when he was in high school. His song Subete no Hito no Kokoro ni Hana o, as recorded by himself and others, has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. He is now perhaps equally well known for his ongoing activism in the name of peace.

He made a dramatic appearance in Pune on September 17, 1989, just as Osho was emerging for the first time since April 1989 (excepting a few times in August). This night began the time of White Swan Brotherhood, which soon became White Robe Brotherhood. He and Champloose (40 members!) played the music after Osho left that night. (This event introduced, the writer believes, the very large drums used later by Milarepa and Marco in other White Robe nights.)

Upanishad/Kina was elected a member of the House of Councillors, or Sangiin, Japan's Upper House, in July 2004 for one six-year term.
