Yukihiro Katayama

Yukihiro Katayama is a Kusatsu-based Japanese magician specializing in stage manipulation. Shiga Prefecture’s current artist registry explicitly lists his residence, continuing appearances at events and shows across Japan and abroad, and availability for company parties and other engagements through an official contact route. Katayama won third place in manipulation at the 2018 FISM World Championship, followed by major international festival prizes, and became the first Japanese contestant credited with a Fool Us trophy in 2020. His work emphasizes visual precision, disciplined object handling and a presentation that travels cleanly across language barriers.
