Born on December 23, 1982, in Saitama, Japan, TK started his musical journey by forming the band in 2002.

His most recent releases, such as "first death," "As long as I love / Scratch," and "egomaniac feedback," showcase his dynamic range as a musician and his continued evolution in the solo realm, evidencing his versatility and depth as an artist beyond his work with Ling tosite sigure.
