The Producer of the show and the one responsible for bringing Makoto Matsui and his company to Los Angeles from Japan is Kaori Nara Turner. She initially brought him over in 2015 with “Makoto and U.S. Friends Show in Los Angeles”. It was such a huge success that she wanted to have him come again but Covid put her plans on hold and time passed. Now, at 90 years old she has realized her dream of sharing Makoto Matsui’s incredible talent and mercurial company with her Los Angeles community that she loves so well.
