Born June 9th, 1987 in Mie prefecture of the Kansai region of Japan with the name “Shinji Yuuto”, better know by many here as “Leda Cygnus” or just “Leda”.

He has had other stage names before, such as “Yu-To”, and been in several other bands, the latest being Far East Dizain, which disbanded in 2019. Since then he has mostly stayed solo and performed in various shows with other artists. His latest song is “Venus on the G Strings”.

His first show with BABYMETAL was LEGEND Z (debuting with Ohmura and Hideki). He is the only Kami (that we know of) that has helped create songs for BABYMETAL. He arranged No Rain, No Rainbow, and did the recording of bass for Road of Resistance, and guitar and bass for Ijime, Dame, Zettai, Akatsuki, Amore and No Rain, No Rainbow. More recently, he recorded the guitar and bass for Arkadia.
