Trivia

Hisashi was a good boy in school and had good results, planning on going to college after high school.

Before GLAY became famous, Hisashi used to work in a game centre and convenience store, meeting with the rest of the band to perform in live houses in the night.

He used to be in a band named Ari (蟻) but they broke up before he joined GLAY.

He was reluctant to join GLAY, thinking that they were just a copy band of BOOWY, but joined after much persuasion from the Takuro, the leader of GLAY.

His father, a surgeon, passed away when he was in high school and Hisashi had a fight with him before he collapsed.

Teru (lead vocalist of GLAY) said that Hisashi was cute when he first saw Hisashi's photo.

Teru and Hisashi are best friends, but Jiro and Hisashi are rumoured to not get along well with each other.

Hisashi's religion is Buddhism.

Hisashi is currently married to a woman named Izumi (rumoured to be a fan of GLAY who helped him back on stage when he fell off during a concert). She is commonly thought to be a nurse, however this is due to a misinterperation of an article that said she had nursed him back to health.
