Yoshiki (born 20 November 1965) is a Japanese composer, drummer, pianist, and producer celebrated as one of the most influential figures in modern rock and classical music. Best known as the co-founder and leader of the legendary band X Japan, Yoshiki revolutionised the visual kei movement—blending symphonic grandeur with hard rock intensity. Beyond his band work, he has composed for the Golden Globes, the Emperor of Japan’s enthronement anniversary, and international film scores, earning global acclaim for his emotional, genre-defying artistry. A true polymath, Yoshiki seamlessly bridges the worlds of high fashion, film, and philanthropy, embodying both rock rebellion and refined elegance.
