× Save for the music used for battle scenes in movies, Kyo hated music growing up because television programs would only play J-Pop. It wasn't until middle school that he discovered rock music.
× Kyo hated school. When it would come time for exams to be turned in, he would turn in blank sheets of paper.
× Before taking his current stage name, Kyo used to be known as Yoma and Hotoma.
× Kyo first met bandmate Shinya in the band Haijin Kurobara Zoku.
× It is said his current stage name was derived from the *KYO part of Kyoto.
[ *A visitor to the site Becca made a brilliant observation. If you take the kanji that represents "Tooru" and remove a few of the strokes, you get the kanji for "Kyo". So it's very possible that this could be the method he used to pick his stage name. Thank you, Becca! ]
