He gained his first spotlight as a singer when he performed the 1st ending theme of the Tennis no Oujisama (Prince of Tennis) anime, 'You Got Game?' on 2001. From 2003, he played the role of the prodigy Fuji Shuusuke in the musical version of the series until his graduation from the musical at the end of 2004. After graduating from high school, he originally became a mailman, but later decided to pursue a career as a singer. He adopted the stage name Kimeru, which means "to decide" in Japanese, before debuting. Kimeru's birth name has never been announced publicly.

Kimeru then was signed with the major label Nippon Crown and released his first full album, 'glorious', under that label.

He also blogs regularly, hosts his own radio show and has a short cooking segment on TV. Kimeru is always surprised by the enthusiasm shown by his non-Japanese fans and he shows his appreciation by greeting them in his diary or live concerts.

突き刺さりそうな時間が二人
遮ろうとしても
つないだ手はもう離さない
疑う心と駆け引きは
静かに眠らせよう
君が傍にいる限り

愛してる?愛してない?

君のココロが知りたくて
擬古ちなくなる昨日の僕は
誰でもいい何でもいい
すがるためのアイテムを
探していたんだ
ウソを曖昧な言葉で隠してきたんだ
だから今は僕が君に
抱いたもの出し切ってみよう
突き刺さりそうな時間が二人
遮ろうとしても
つないだ手はもう離さない
疑う心と駆け引きは
静かに眠らせよう
君が傍にいる限り
ぬくもりに出会えたから
分かり合える

恋してる?恋してない?
ホントの僕が見たくて
分からなくなるこだわる意味を
しょうがないこれでもいい
諦めるのは上手くて
他人(ひと)を羨んだ
自分らしさ奪い合う
ゲームはもういらない
欲しいものは一つだけだ
君とだけは離れたくない
くり返し揺れる時間が僕を
惑わせたとしても
差し伸べた手は離さない
いなくなるツラさと愛しさ
胸に刻んだなら
すべてを受け止められる
ぬくもりに出会えたから
分かり合える

突き刺さりそうな時間が二人
遮ろうとしても
つないだ手はもう離さない
疑う心と駆け引きは
静かに眠らせよう
君が傍にいる限り
くり返し揺れる時間が僕を
惑わせたとしても
差し伸べた手は離さない
いなくなるツラさと愛しさ
胸に刻んだなら

すべてを受け止められる
ぬくもりに出会えたから全てわかる
