Having worked at Syn for over 20-years, including collaborations with directors including Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood and Michael Mann, Akaku has cemented himself as a much-loved engineer in Tokyo, based at Syn Tokyo’s studio in the city’s Harajuku district. Syn first entered the world of audio post-production in 1996, when Nick Wood installed the first ISDN connection at the Tokyo based facility. Since then, Akaku and Syn have worked on hit shows including Shōgun (FX), Sunny (Apple TV+), Tokyo Vice (HBO), Pachinko (Apple TV+) and many more.
Attending the awards on Sunday September 8th with Syn CEO and Creative Director, Nick Wood, alongside Akaku’s wife, the trio celebrated the success of Shōgun alongside the wider Sound Mixing team. Live from the Peacock Theatre in Downtown LA, the 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards celebrates the exceptional talent behind the camera, with Shōgun taking home a record-breaking 14 Emmy Awards across the weekend.
Syn Tokyo’s studio is based in the heart of Harajuku and is proud to be featured on the Post Super network since 2020.
