Singer / Musician of Rock and Alternative
優雅 (romanized as either Yu-ga, Yuga or Yuuga, born in 1980 in the Kanagawa prefecture) is a Japanese visual kei vocalist and musician. He originally got his start as a session keyboardist in Diana in 1998, he later joined Celestia on keyboards. After Celestia disbanded in 1999, he switched to vocals and founded the cult indies band Chateau la tour in late 1999. When Chateau La tour split in 2001, he then joined the short-lived band Kar'MariA and also collaborated as a guitarist with Garnet vocalist 弥生 in the unit Deadly Sanctuary. From 2002 to 2004, he was the frontman of DEViL KiTTY, which he notably produced most of the material of as well. After DEViL KiTTY folded, he embarked on a brief solo career, before eventually retiring from the underground visual kei scene all together. In 2012, Yu-ga returned to the visual universe as the frontman of Gokiburi, which was active from 2012 until 2015. He then reformed DEViL KiTTY with a completely different lineup, which appears to still be active today.
