Jack the Rigger and Shana have been a well-coordinated bondage team since 2009, setting standards both on stage and in education. Over many years, they shaped Secret56 together and were a core part of the Seilschaften team for 15 years.
Jack discovered his passion for bondage in 2008. As a co-founder of Secret56 and a certified Osada-Ryū instructor (since 2022), he teaches in-depth technical knowledge from Osada Ryu and Yukimura Ryu. His many years of work as a photographer expand his perspective on aesthetics, bodywork, and staging – an added value reflected in workshops as well as in shoots for riggers, models, and photographers.
Shana discovered the scene in 2009 through Jack and quickly developed into an expressive bondage partner and impressive stage performer. Her extensive experience as a model, her keen sense of dynamics, emotion, and safety, as well as her presence in the ropes, have a decisive influence on their collaborative work.
Together, Jack and Shana are known for technically precise, playful, and emotional bondage shows both at home and abroad, as well as for lively, hands-on knowledge transfer.
In mid-2026, the two left Secret56 and decided to open their own small bondage school. Aijō was born.
Aijō is the label under which Shana and Jack offer their products to the bondage community.
In Japanese, Aijō means “bond” or “love.”
Shana and Jack chose this name because it best expresses their connection both in everyday life and in bondage.
The two have known each other since elementary school and never lost touch, even during the time they were apart. They have been a couple again since 2009 and have been married since 2016.
This bond, which they share in everyday life as well as in the realm of bondage, ultimately led to the name Aijō.
