Toshiji Mikawa

Toshiji Mikawa is a Japanese noise musician, a long-standing member of the Hijokaidan collective and the founder of Incapacitants. He is best known for the harsh, pure noise of Incapacitants, a project he has kept going alongside a day job in a bank. Toshiji Mikawa started Incapacitants in Osaka in 1981 as a solo offshoot of his work with Hijokaidan. After he moved to Tokyo, Fumio Kosakai of C.C.C.C. joined and the project became the duo that still performs today, with releases on Alchemy Records. Incapacitants played their first concert abroad in Wels, Austria, in 1999.
