biography

TERU is the youngest member of Versailles and also the last one to join the band.
 
He was supposed to be an official member since the beginning, but due to his obligations towards his former band
Aikaryu he considered himself a support member until July 2007.
Like Jasmine You, TERU had already worked with HIZAKI as a member of
HIZAKI grace project.

Since early 2007 he has been designer at Sherow Artist Society as wait A minutes (this nickname was suggested by other the band members as TERU often says "please wait a minute"). He designed jackets and created artworks for most of the Matenrou Opera and HIZAKI grace project releases with Sherow Artist Society, and he is still the main designer of Versailles. Still as a graphic designer, he also gave a lecture at a seminar on the development of Japanese pop culture, held by the Kyoto University of Arts and Design on November 25th 2010.
