TK from Ling tosite sigure, whose real name is Toru Kitajima, is an influential figure in the Japanese music scene, known primarily as the frontman for the rock band Ling tosite sigure. Born on December 23, 1982, in Saitama, Japan, TK started his musical journey by forming the band in 2002. The band quickly gained notoriety for their unique sound—a blend of intricate guitar work, high-octane rhythms, and a mix of clean and screamed vocals, delivered by both TK and bassist Miyoko Nakamura.

As a solo artist, TK explores a sound that is distinct yet complementary to his work with Ling tosite sigure, weaving intricate guitar melodies with atmospheric electronics and his signature vocal style. His solo career took a major leap with the release of the single "unravel" in 2014, which garnered widespread acclaim as the opening theme for the popular anime series "Tokyo Ghoul." Since then, TK has continued to build his repertoire with diverse musical explorations and collaborations. 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.
