You could count some of their contemporaries such as Tak Shindo, Chaino, etc but there's really only the big 2. Everyone else wouldnt be true "tiki" I pretty much use a loose notion of tiki to mean "lounge" or "exotica/easy listening" basically, anything that would sound more or less right playing in a tiki bar..
