His first show for BABYMETAL was in early 2013, it was LEGEND Z. Since then, he has been BABYMETAL’s go-to drummer, playing 180 shows for them. Though as most here know, he hasn’t played outside Japan with BABYMETAL since Brixton 2019.

He still has projects outside BABYMETAL, one of the most important being JAM Project. He actually may be hard to recognize for some that haven’t seen him outside BABYMETAL, mostly because of his “natural” hair.
