Staring guitar from the age of 13, Koji developed his band career around clubs in Tokyo at 15.
First as a guitarist he also was a drummer for various bands, later deciding to concentrate on vocals and guitar.
After deciding to give his music career a hiatus, he worked as a model and actor performing on various shows and movies. Koji also developed ties with Racing teams, obtaining a class A racing license, competing in races and additionally wrote articles for Car Magazines.
In 2012 Koji revamped his musical activities, landing a deal with Abbey Road Studios (English Heritage Grade II listed, famously used for recordings of Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc.) with Simon Gibson (remastered Harry Potter, E.T.) creating the album “NW8”.

“NW8” was sold first in the UK, and the tour in London, Sheffield, and Brighton received high praises.
In the US, performing in Hawaii and Los Angeles, Koji’s “NW8” has been featured in various media outlets.
All lyrics and music of “NW8” are produced by Koji.
