Yu~ki is the former bassist of the Visual kei band Malice Mizer. He had been with the band from its beginning (in 1992) until they announced they'd be going on an indefinite hiatus in December, 2001. While the other members of Malice Mizer have either gone solo or joined new bands, Yu~ki has done neither.
- Yu~ki claims that the first thing he does in a morning is eat chocolate.
- After the departure of Malice Mizer's vocalist, Tetsu, he was asked to become Malice Mizer's new voice but declined.
- In live performances with Malice Mizer, Yu~ki assumed the position of a count or vampire; Gackt was usually the hero, Közi often took the odd roles, and Mana was the girl. This pattern carried over into the band's movie reinterpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, in which Yu~ki played Dracula.
- Yu~ki wrote the music to the Malice Mizer song Syunikiss ～二度目の哀悼～. He also wrote the lyrics to both versions of Közi's song Memento.
- Although there are many rumours as to what his real name is, none have been proven.
- Yu~ki is notorious for being shy and would often rely on late Malice Mizer member Kami for dance cues. Once during a live show Kami ran offstage, leaving Yu~ki holding the mic and he was struck with stage fright while talking to the audience
- Yu~ki's Malice Mizer colors were orange and yellow
