TK, known as the vocalist and guitarist of Ling tosite sigure.

“TK from Ling tosite sigure” is his solo moniker.

He possesses a one-of-a-kind high tone vocal that combines translucence with sharpness.

If you know his signature song “unravel,” you’ll understand—his range is incredibly high, yet his delivery remains deeply emotional.

He’s the only vocalist I find to have a “beautiful death growl,” handling both intense tracks and gentle ballads with unwavering control, leaving you with a feeling that your heart’s been cleansed.

He’s also highly regarded as a singing guitarist: he sings while executing intricate fast runs, odd time signatures, and complex arpeggios—something very few can imitate.

The leader of Onmyo-za, a band known as a “yokai heavy metal” act.

While Onmyo-za often performs anime songs, hearing Matatabi’s voice will surely bring the phrase “anison rock” to mind! His voice is fantastic; his greatest weapon is a powerful, deep low register that contrasts with main vocalist Kuroneko’s high tones.

Despite its depth, his voice is very easy to understand.

Matatabi is also famous for never stopping once he starts talking on stage.

With passionate MCs, a compelling delivery, and staging that makes full use of his height, he draws the audience in and builds the band’s world.
