SUGIZO has a daughter named Luna.
- From an extremely young age,
SUGIZO received training in violin, musical composition, and classical music. His thorough understanding of composition and innate skill allow him to create guitar and violin performances filled with an inner light that pulls the listener from the present moment into the sublime. Respected for his beautiful but deep and universally spiritual sound design,
SUGIZO creates his own scene while smashing genre boundaries apart. Both in Japan and abroad he is known for his refined artistic sense and powerful presence. An activist as well as a musician,
SUGIZO also takes part in a wide variety of anti-war and environmental activities.

From His Myspace Page:
- Making music is my life. Through music, I am given life. "Something" exists that many people have lost sight of and yet know the truth of deep down inside. My desire is to create music that may function as a reminder of this forgotten "something." I truly hope that my music might serve as a force to help unite all living creatures, this planet, and the cosmos into one. To bring about a deep understanding that is beyond border, race, religion, and nationality. To encourage the evolution of people's consciousness. I started out as a member of the band
LUNA SEA and until recently was a part of
The FLARE. Now, as the solo artist
SUGIZO I participate in a diverse array of projects based in Tokyo including the psychedelic jam band
SHAG and the shamanic electronica unit
S.T.K.(Sensual Technology Kooks).
