Educator Bios
See our Code of Conduct for an overview of how our instructors have agreed to conduct themselves. Niho and Nkay each have personal codes of conduct, and the links can be found in their bios below.
Niho Mano
Niho Mano uses he/him pronouns and identifies as a Dominant sexual sadist. He has been active in the greater Houston community since 2014 and has been learning and practicing rope bondage since 2015. He is a co-director of MAsT: Houston and facilitator of Houstons Top of the Slash Kinksters (TSK)
Rope is Niho's greatest passion, and he sees it as one of the most intimate forms of communication. He uses rope to take control, tease, express desire, provide comfort, deliver pain, release emotions, and more. Niho believes that rope can create an intimate connection between two people.
Niho is known for his ability to be both a caring, cuddly gentleman and a mean sadistic fucker, on the same night. He is the owner Nkay, the most important person in his life. Together, they present classes from the perspective of both sides of the slash.
Niho is also an adventurer, a travel enthusiast, and enjoys scuba diving and racing.

They are passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience with others and are always willing to assist in any way they can. Vetting inquiries are always welcome.
Nkay is a unique individual who lives in the light and flirts with the edge of darkness. They are a rope switch, an expert napper and snuggler, a Hufflepuff, a scuba diving enthusiast, a woodland creature, a yogi, a weirdo, and a passionate medical professional. They are both a sick fucker and a ball full of giggles.
Above all else, they are a slave to their Master. Their purpose, life, and being belong to Him and their family.
