Taimei Kawai is an electronic musician and DJ based in Tokyo, Japan. He is one of the leading artists and founding members of the Tokyo-based net label TREKKIE TRAX.

Taimei is also an active DJ, often seen mixing at clubs around Japan, having toured overseas in Korea, China, and the United States, and opening for overseas acts like Dombresky, Ryan Hemsworth, and Porter Robinson. He also hosts a weekly show on block.fm alongside his brother Seimei Kawai and fellow TREKKIE TRAX members andrew and Masayoshi Iimori where they showcase new releases from the label and guest mixes from up-and-coming talents in the Japanese scene. Recently, he's also attempted live performances as well.
