Onni Toivonen
Onni Toivonen is a Finnish circus artist from Tampere, Finland. Since his graduation from the Stockholm University of the Arts in 2016, his fluid, movement based juggling has been seen by audiences in 15 different countries around the world.

He has worked with such companies as Company Nuua, Circo Aereo and Kinetic Orchestra as well as produced his own creations such as Amalgam (2019) and Stygian (2025).
Cru Cru Cirque DX
Cru Cru Cirque DX traces its roots back to シルク・空 "Cirque Kū," which began in 1997, later became "Cru Cru Cirque" from 2000. The current “DX” version took shape when Keisuke, who trained in circus arts in France, joined the team. For nearly 30 years, they've been bringing their unique "Cru Cru" performances—blending juggling and physical expression—to streets and stages alike. This time, they're back with an even more deluxe version, featuring a fun-filled show for both kids and adults, plus a special appearance by local members of the Shinshu Youth Circus!
Masahiro Kudo
A diabolo expert known for his refined performances that blend music and movement, he captivates audiences with every show.
He began practicing diabolo in 2012 upon entering university, quickly diving deep into the art and dedicating himself to developing his technique. In 2017, he became Japan’s top diabolo performer by winning both the AJDC (All Japan Diabolo Competition) and the JJF Championship.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, he took time to reflect on his true aspirations, ultimately deciding to leave his corporate job and pursue a career as a full-time performer.
Since then, he has performed at numerous street performance festivals across Japan. In 2024, he received an offer to join MSC Virtuosa, a cruise ship operated by the European company MSC Cruises, as an onboard artist.
He continues to evolve as a performer, crossing the worlds of street performance, stage shows, and circus arts—while always striving to push his diabolo skills to the next level.
