With fellow artists Louis van der Waal and Maarten Westra Hoekzema she founded the theatre collective 'unm'. Together they created projects like Tussen hond en wolf (2009) and The house that built us (2012). Together with her friend and fellow actress Ruth Becquart, she created the performance Letter. This production won the Dutch Dioraphte prize. In 2015, Kyoko created Bastard, a comical-existential research into her alleged descent from Napoleon Bonaparte. The multimedial theatre performance was very well received by the press and toured intensively in Flanders and the Netherlands. In 2017 Kyoko came out with Misconnected (Caravan Production): this installation is touring to European theatre festivals and museums until today. Kyoko did camera work for Any Way the Wind Blows by Tom Barman, Stille Waters and The Hell of Tanger by Frank Van Mechelen, Het Eiland by Jan Eelen, Sextet by Eddy Terstall, Geub by Jan Dircksens / Mathias De Neve and Albatros by Wannes Destoop.
