일본 액션 페인팅의 선구자로 여겨지는 Kazuo Shiraga는 국제적으로도 Gutai의 저명한 인물로 인정받고 있다. Shiraga는 밧줄에 매달린 채 발로 그림을 그리며 몸짓으로 작업을 하였는데 그의 몸짓의 흔적은 표면에 역동적으로 두껍게 쌓인 물감의 흔적을 남겼다. 1955년 Gutai에 참여하기 전에 작가는 Atsuko Tanaka, Akira Kanayama 와 Saburo Murakami가 멤버였던 “Zero Society”에 활동적인 구성원였다. 프랑스 미술 비평가이자 앵포르멜 선언문의 창시자 Michel Tapié 는 그의 매혹적인 재능을 극찬했다. 결국 Shiraga는 불교 신자가 되어 Hieizan Mountain의 Enryakuji-Temple에 들어가게 되고, 불교 이름 Sodo Shiraga로 작가 활동을 이어 갔다. 1993년 작가는 베니스 비엔날레에 참가했으며 그의 작품은 현재까지 전 세계 미술 소장가들의 마음을 사로잡고 있다.
