Fun facts: Kyo can play guitar and bass to some extent. He tried many different instruments before he decided he would be a singer instead.
Kyo hasn't got much luck with his eyebrow piercings. When he first had one, it got infected and was very tender, so he decided to leave it alone and have another piercing on the other side, but the same thing happened to that one too!

Don't call this guy cute, EVER. Even though he is *so* adorable, he considers himself to be evil looking and scary. Many of his fans state that the scarier image he tries to put on, the more kawaii (cute) he seems to be (I love his evil little grin!).
The nickname of Kyo is Warumono, meaning "bad person" in Japanese, but at the same time it is his favourite manga.
When he was a little kid, he decided he will not learn any kanji, so in lieu of his original name he chose to use the "Kyo" kanji from his birthplace's name, Kyoto, which he speaks of quite fondly. Another explanation to his name is that he hated his original name and simply chose to use Kyo instead; the fact that he never used it - not even in his former bands - seems to comfirm this version.
Kyo began his music career as a roadie for the band Kuroyume. He joined his first band, Gesshoku, at the age of 17 and he changed his name to Yoma - this band was together in Kyoto for only half a year. In his next band, Visun he went by the name, Hotoma. From there he joined the MASQUERADE. This was followed by Haijin Kurobarazoku where Kyo was joined by Shinya (drums) and KISAKI (bass). By this time, Kyo had changed to his current name. After that, La:Sadies was formed where Kyo, Shinya and Kisaki were joined by Die and Kaoru (guitars) later.
He knows how to fall asleep absolutely anywhere: he was even sleeping in a middle of an interview! He is also known to enjoy lying during interviews, meaning one can never be sure that what he said has even a little verity in it.
He has 2 pets, Puchi and Buchi, the kangaroo rats.
It is said that he didn't get into the music business until he was 15, when he found out that it is something he really liked. He is a great fan of the band Kuroyume, and he looks up to the vocalist Kiyoharu. He has many piercings and tatoos

that adore his body.
He has such an eccentric and powerful voice that he can do amazing number of things with: singing, screaming, choking, laughing; he really knows how to sound like he's vomiting or like he's having an orgasm in almost the same breath. It's almost as if he's doing some sound effects to his songs. For example, if you listen to Taiyou no Ao and then Zan, you think two completely different things about him. Also he has a maniac giggle - that can be found in some of his songs -, that you can't help but smile at... yeah, too cute!
He's not only amazing as a vocalist, but as a songwriter as well. He wants to describe pain, so his lyrics never have a happy ending; all his songs are either really twisted or mournful and sad.
During lives, Kyo takes the advantages of being the vocalist to its fullest: he practically throws himself around the stage, he is not only a singer, but a performer. He may be small, but he is a twisted bundle of energy. He is incredible to watch, for you can almost feel the pain in his vocals by just looking at him.
His hearing to his left ear is very bad, because in 2000 he had an "Acute Acoustic Trauma" (I don't really know what it is, but sounds bad to me), and because of that, many lives were postponed to next year.
In the band only Kyo likes to use daub-like, thick make-up. His hair changes color constantly: raging from black to red, to bleached blonde; he just spikes it up or combs it down, or just puts it under a hat or a bandana. Nowadays he keeps it at shoulder-lenght and dyes it black. In their Visual Kei days, the clothes he designed were often based on a traditional japanese kimono, interwined with modern materials like pleather and corsets.
One world: warumono.
