imsaku (ジンサク, Jinsaku) is a Japanese drum and bass duo formed by Akira Jimbo and Tetsuo Sakurai in 1990, after they left the jazz/fusion band Casiopea. They released 10 albums and one "Best of" collection, and disbanded in 1998. The name is a portmanteau of the two band members' last names, Jimbo and Sakurai. In 1989, Sakurai and Jimbo formed a band with members other than Casiopea, Shambara. Issei Noro called for Shambara to be disbanded, Sakurai and Jimbo refused and quit Casiopea, dissolving the original Casiopea. The two formed Jimsaku after this, wanting to be in an instrumental band again. Shambara fell apart, after Sakurai and Jimbo focused on Jimsaku instead.
Jimsaku's early discography was heavily influenced by Latin / Samba music after Sakurai's trip to Brazil in the early 80s influenced his style of music. Although this kind of music was different from main-stream fusion, Jimsaku remained popular. Jimsaku
