Hi Patrice:
 
 
Koei Tanaka from Japan. He came to the US to play at SPAH 2009 and was  
brilliant.
 
Plays both chromatics and diatonics. - is now representing Suzuki  
harmonicas...Lots of YouTube videos :)
 
here's just one (his own composition) - "Facinator' played at SPAH,  
'09...he opened his set with Toots Thielemans' 'Bluesette'.

look for more of his own compositions - you'll love his playing, I'm  sure:

 
 
 
Of course the famous Cham-ber Huang born in Shanghai, China and his brother 
 Frank who ended up living right here (where I do) on Long Island, NY.
