About

Tokimaru Tanaka is a Tokyo-based content creator and extreme minimalist. He began photography following fieldwork in Bali while studying cultural anthropology. Through film, essays, and YouTube, he explores the relationship between society and the self. His creative practice is rooted in daily Ashtanga yoga, hiking, and a lifestyle defined by minimal gear. His latest works include the photo book Denpa (2024) and the essay collection notes on light and life (2025)—a compilation of thoughts drawn from nearly two decades of photographic practice. He earned his RYT200 certification at IYC in 2023.
