'''Kenji "Julie" Sawada''' (born 1948) is a Japanese musician, actor and composer, best known to Americans for being in MishimaALifeInFourChapters. His claim to fame among Japanese is perhaps, according to many, such as {{SMAP}}, with planting the seeds of the visual kei movement. His manner of dress when he performed, his heavy use of makeup, and his tendency to not seperate his stage personality from his real one are all traits later adopted by most VisualKei groups. His band, the Tigers, were one of many attempts to cash in on the Beatles by Japanese record labels, his was the most successful, with composer Koichi Sugiyama (yes,[[DragonQuest that one]]) giving much of their songs a very classical feel.. After the breakup of The Tigers, Sawada formed the SuperGroup PYG, bringing together many of his former rivals as musicians and churning out three albums. He later began a very successful solo career and became apt to a Japanese DavidBowie, acting in many roles to this day.
