TOSHI was influenced by his brother and fell in love with rock music since he was a child. Co-founded X with YOSHIKI in high school. TOSHI is full of energy when singing, and her vocal cords are seriously damaged because she roars at concerts all the year round. He underwent surgery after reluctantly recording his jealousy. By 1997, he had released five solo albums. He has recovered from his early heavy metal modeling to plain dressing, and his voice has changed a lot, perhaps because of surgery, but this has not damaged his image in the hearts of fans. Since TOSHI announced that he was leaving X, he has been criticized by some fans. TOSHI once said that "X is already YOSHIKI's X", but it may be because TOSHI's image is getting farther and farther away from X that he came up with the idea of leaving X.

He first fell in love with rock music because he was exposed to the Beatles' music. He bought a guitar in the second day of junior high school and began to change his dream of being a teacher. He dropped out of high school and went to work in a musical instrument store for a period of time. He met many rock music predecessors and learned the soundtrack. He was named PATA because he likes comic characters. In X, he is the least like a visual musician. During the concert, he didn't have much body language and gorgeous stage costumes, and his appearance style was similar to Tai Chi, which belonged to American rock style. In his early days, his appearance followed the British punk route, and the fiery punk head, coupled with rough movements, can no longer be associated with PATA.

Soon after, he quit and formed a D T R (Dirty Garbage Road) with Fujimoto Taisi. In the early days, Tai Chi was a standard visual musician, both in the period of Venishing vision and blue blood. During the jealousy period, Tai Chi became an American roll.

As early as 1978, TOSHI and YOSHIKI, two good friends, had formed the band NOISE, performed at the school cultural festival and LIVE HOUSE, and started their tortuous and mythical music journey. In the summer of 82, when heavy metals and hard rock just flowed into Japan, they formed the first HM/HD band in Japan, which was the predecessor of X Japan. In fact, the full name of band X is "psychological violence crime of visual impact". It is said that it was Toshi's idea to name it, and Yoshiki Hayashi didn't like it at first. TOSHI is the lead singer and YOSHIKI is the drummer.

After graduating from high school, Yoshiki Hayashi and Jun left their hometown for Tokyo and began to work hard for their musical ideals. When the development of X was first established, the players were extremely unstable. Yoji (guitar), Tomo (guitar) and Tokuo (bass) come and go, and only TOSHI and YOSHIKI are struggling. It was not until1February, 985 that they finally released their first single "I will kill you" (Dada record). 1In April, 986, X published his second single, Orgrams》(Extasy Records) (India).

1Feb. 987, Taidi (bass), Pata (guitar) and HIDE (guitar) joined, and finally established the regular lineup of Toshi, Taidi, PATA and hide & Yoshiki Hayashi.

At first, major Japanese record companies thought that this strange band had no market value and was not worth signing. But this is not difficult for Yoshiki Hayashi. He borrowed a sum of money from his mother and set up his own record company-Extasy Record. 1988 April 14 X released its first album "Lost Vision", which once topped the independent record sales list. 1April 198814th, X finally released its first album Extasy Records (India). Within a week, the first limited edition 1 10,000 copies were all sold out! In August, 1 officially signed a contract with CBS/ Sony Records. After struggling in the garage for six years, X finally got the approval of the record company.
