As a child in elementary school, he was very much interested in traditional Japanese brush writing and using a soroban (abacus), therefore studying these fondly.

[citation needed] Realizing that he could not achieve a large amount of success in his current high school band after graduation, Kami decided to go to Tokyo.

Upon leaving his previous group and moving, Kami spent a brief time in a punk band before taking a liking to the visual kei style.

Performing mainly live shows, Kami soon attracted the attention of Yu~ki, bassist from the visual kei rock band Malice Mizer.

Due to Malice Mizer's previous drummer, Gaz, leaving (who would shortly thereafter join Kneuklid Romance), the band was very keen on introducing Kami to their style of music.

In the months before his death Kami had taken to composing music, including "Unmei no Deai" and "Mori no Naka no Tenshi".

As for the other members of Malice Mizer, Gackt wrote two songs in memory of Kami that were both released on his Mars album: "Emu ~For My Dear~" and "U+K".
