江川ほーじん (Hojin Egawa)

Hojin Egawa (江川ほーじん) is a Japanese bassist and composer, best known as one of the founding members of BAKUFU SLUMP. He left the band in 1989 at the peak of their popularity after creative differences with their producer, inspiring the group’s classic hit Runner. He remained active in Japan’s rock and jazz scenes, performing with projects like TOUGH BANANA and RHINOCEROS, while also working as a studio musician.
In December 2018, he suffered a severe traffic accident that left him in critical condition. As his recovery has been slow, a full return to the stage remains uncertain.
