Born in : 1969.01.29 (from R&R NewsMaker magazine interview)

He was ask to form the band since Februry 1991.

He was the vocal of the band [ Jelsarem's Rod ] together with [ pero ] who was a guitarist, before he join the band, L'Arc~en~Ciel. The story of [ tetsu ] keeps calling him to join his band is always a fairly tale for fans. I should say he has a perfect rock star character. He has the GREAT singing talent as well as best wished on his looks. He can play guitar, that makes L'Arc~en~Ciel looks more professional, because the vocal is not just singing. His talent of writing lyrics is also the best, because he does not use common way to say the word, as well as the lyric is not just about love. Moreover, he is a real artist, since he studied and worked on art before joining the band.
