Having been in a number of famous Japanese rock and metal bands, he was best known for his work with [[X Japan]] and with [[Loudness]]. While in [[X Japan]], he co-wrote several songs, developed Toshi's "french fries" mohawk hair style, and heavily contributed otherwise toward the band's musical skill and lyrical and stylistic focus.
He left [[X Japan]] in 1992 due to musical differences and a fight with [[Yoshiki Hayashi|Yoshiki]], and proceeded to play with [[Loudness]], leave Loudness to form his own off-and-on band D.T.R., and experienced a major [[Creator Breakdown]] due to a variety of issues he'd struggled with throughout his life. He slowly returned from his [[Creator Breakdown]] to play with the soon-to-be-disbanded D.T.R., Otokaze, Kings, and with The Killing Red Addiction and TAIJI WITH HEAVEN'S.
