Information
Közi was the guitarist of Malice Mizer, an influential Japanese gothic band noted for their extravagant costume and varied musical styles. Közi was a founding member along with Mana, and shared songwriting duties with him. His compositions for the band, such as Illuminati, Color Me Blood Red and Baptism of Blood, are notable for their more electronic and gothic qualities, as well as lyrical themes of sado-masochism and sexual fetishes.

In 2002, Közi released a solo work, collaboration with a Japanese writer, Minako, who wrote a story book about a sister and brother whose bodies were inseperable, with Közi writing the music, the set was entitled Izayoi no Tsuki. From there, Közi went on to persue a solo career alongside his activity in Eve of Destiny. His first release was the double single KHAOS/KINEMA, which included the song 'Promenade' Co-written by Haruhiko Ash. This track was re-released on his full-length album カタルシス (Katarushisu or Catharsis). He followed this with single MEMENTO in 2004, co-written by ex-Malice Mizer bassist Yu~ki, and dedicated to the band's late drummer Kami (who died in 1998). From May 2012 he is the leader of the band ZIZ.
