Közi's career began in 1989, when he went to Tokyo, with the band Beyond The Reinsight. Information about this band is very scarce. In 1991 he joined 摩天楼(Matenrou) with future Malice Mizer member Mana and released two demo tapes. Mana and Közi left Matenrou after deciding they both had similar ideas about creating music. They formed Malice Mizer in 1992. After Malice Mizer disbanded in 2001, Közi joined Haruhiko Ash and created Eve of Destiny, an industrial rock band that toured outside of Japan, performing at various festivals in Europe.
In 2002, Közi collaborated with Japanese author Minako for the book Izayoi No Tsuki (十六夜の月), which Közi provided the eerie soundtrack for. He then performed a special singing event in Japan which cemented the fact that he was following a solo career. Közi's first solo release was the double-disc, double-single package KHAOS/KINEMA, which included "Promenade". The track was re-released several months later on his debut album "カタルシス" (Catharsis). Közi's "MEMENTO" single is dedicated to the late Malice Mizer drummer, Kami.
During his time in MALICE MIZER, Közi often assumed the role of a pierrot doll, dressing in clown-like costumes with large ruffs, always in shades of red, his favourite colour. In music videos and on-stage he would often make movements reminiscent of a marionette (string puppet). Közi has continued this visual style to some extent, but his contemporary stage costumes are more gothic. His work on the Izayoi No Tsuki project was reminiscent of carnival music, and artwork for his projects usually follow a dramatic, theatrical theme. Details about his private life are sketchy.
On May 2007, Közi released a live DVD, featuring a collage of his lives from 2004-2006.
In 2008, Közi embarked on a project with ex-deadman's vocalist Mako. He'll be the bassist and guitarist for the single track CD that will be included with Mako's book "buried alive by words". The song will be called "buried with the light", released in May.
In 2010, Közi joined the new wave-styled Visual-kei band XA-VAT with the former vocalist and drummer of goatbed.
Now he is currently in a band called ZIZ, composed of his backing band from his solo career; with himself as vocalist and guitarist, bassist Sugiya (Moi dix Mois), guitarist Jiro (Bioactive), keyboardist Yugami (Yugami Hakase) and drummer Chargeeeeee (Omega Dripp).

The lyrics of "Que Sera Sera" by Közi describe the fleeting nature of life and how we often find ourselves alone in a vast and diverse world. The first verse talks about how we may encounter all sorts of different moments, but ultimately we exist in one world and often find ourselves alone. This verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, which explores the different emotions and experiences that we may encounter on our journey through life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Que Sera Sera," which means "whatever will be, will be" in Spanish. This phrase is often used to convey a sense of acceptance about the unpredictability of life. The lyrics suggest that there are things we want to tell someone (referred to as "KIMI"), but we may not be able to express everything we feel. Despite this, the song urges us to keep moving forward and cherish the small moments of beauty that we come across along the way.
The bridge acknowledges that life can be tough, we can get hurt, and we may make wrong choices, but we can always keep going. The verses then repeat, emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and taking each step one at a time. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the repeated phrase "Que Sera Sera" and a final smile.

It's like one of those various moments
Just coming to one world
Anywhere and always alone
That beautiful thing echoes modestly in my docile heart Repeatedly playing the trivial joys and sadness Even though there are things want to tell you, I can't even say one word
It's like the sining of the stars Only passing through but one dream
Of course, we who don't understand each other and share each other will just wander till our hearts are satisfied Que sera sera
In a twinkle in a space in a handful of time Being unforgiving and being hurt But even if lose sight of the road, it's okay Because I can't continue for much longer
So that don't lose the thoughts that only know, Let's walk ahead without holding onto even one
Before long, this fog will probably clear The brilliant morning will get here eventually All of that love and grief will go away
It's like one of those various moments
Just coming to the world Till our hearts are satisfied
We will just wanter
Que sera sera

Eu me afeiçoei muito a esta música, é reconfortante e doce. Descreve um pouco o que sinto, e o que também muitos adolescentes, como eu, passam e acreditam, mas em um tom de esperança. Sei que ela continuará comigo por bastante tempo, sinto gratidão por ter conhecido közi, malice mizer e vkei em um geral, me sinto mais feliz assim(*´꒳`*)
@Aycheksie
Közi's music and his outfits have never failed to make me MELT.
@EnvyDSin
I'm one of those who praised Mana-sama throughout all of Malice Mizer (and Moi dix Mois) but Közi deserve as much recognition. He was one of the forefathers of what the adventure would be (along with bassist Yu-ki).
@AquaRunner533
His music is unique. He combined with ethereal circus music and blending other genres
@potsuni
Not even 10 seconds in and I'm already in love. Kozi's voice is absolutely beautiful!
@belenescobar8328
words cannot explain how much i love this man

@TheReverantChoir
Közi was the best composer
@home7381
I love how in most of these pictures he is in his wild vkei attire and then at 3:01 he is just a normal guy lol
