*** Additionally, in a rare interview granted by Kyo, when talking about his life and activities before Dir en grey's formation, Kyo intentionally refused to mention Kisaki (or La:Sadies, for that matter) by name, referring to them solely as "the bass player of the band before Dir en grey".

* {{Expy}}: While he does have his own Visual styles, he is well-known as one of the most blatant Music/{{hide|toMatsumoto}} clones in the active scene. Not only that, his bandmates from Music/{{Phantasmagoria}} were also notable for cloning Visual Shock-era musicians.

* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Many UNDER CODE PRODUCTION fans like him, but it seems like the bands who have worked with him don't. Kaoru of Music/DirEnGrey, in fact, ejected him from the band before their successful start, because he didn't want the band to debut yet.

* DyeHard: Usually, he has black , pink and red hair similar to Music/{{hide|toMatsumoto}}'s, but he has also had his hair dyed purple, brown, blonde and orange, among others.



* ThePeteBest: Kisaki is this to Music/DirEnGrey, and every other band he has worked with since.



* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He is a highly proficient bass player, being able to player faster, heavier and more complex basslines than current Music/DirEnGrey bassist Toshiya (who can only come close in some songs). But had he allowed the band to debut early, he would have, alongside the band, acquired the attention of Music/YoshikiHayashi, brought to the forefront of the VK scene, and had a more stable musical career. He would have become very popular among the international metal scene as a bass virtuoso. Sadly, he didn't.
** He is also known as one of the few modern VK artists who still showcase the Visual Shock style; had he established a more stable and more successful musical career, he could have revived and popularized the classic image and attitude that 1980s - late 1990s bands were known for.

Kisaki is a Japanese VisualKei HardRock[=/=]Music/HeavyMetal musician and [[RecordProducer producer]]. He has worked with many other Japanese rock bands, including [[Music/DirEnGrey La:Sadie's]], Syndrome and Phantasmagoria. As record producer of [[UnderCode UNDER CODE PRODUCTION]], a sub-label of FREE-WILL, he has produced material for many bands in the VK scene.

While he is known for being a prolific composer and record producer, he has had a tumultuous musical career, marked by numerous unlucky moments and mishaps; after his split with La:Sadie's, he formed numerous musical projects, which gained little mainstream success and suffered disbandments. His label, UnderCode Production, was particularly notorious for its similar-sounding and equally short-lived bands, before it went bankrupt in 2013 - leading all of the bands on it to either disband or scramble for new labels.

!Bands Associated with Kisaki:
* Levia (1993-1994)
* SHEY≠DE (04/1994-07/1994)
* Kisaki Project (1994; 2002-2004; 2006-2007)

!Kisaki Provides Examples of:

* InTheStyleOf: All the bands he has worked with sound eerily similar to his earlier bands, in particular, La:Sadie's
* IAmTheBand: Refer to the list above.
* MunchausenSyndrome / PlayingSick: While he ''did'' suffer one near-fatal illness, he has also suffered this (as well as the "Munchausen by Proxy Server" variant) in that he has made himself sick and faked illnesses, surgeries, and hospital stays simply to get sympathy or to get his bands/creditors/whomever to hold off on demanding payment.
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Many UNDER CODE PRODUCTION fans like him, but it seems like the bands who have worked with him don't. Kaoru of Music/DirEnGrey, in fact, ejected him from the band before their successful start, because he didn't want the band to debut yet.
* RevolvingDoorBand: Taken to the LogicalExtreme. He has gone through ''entire bands'' and is expected to go through more.
* ThePeteBest: Kisaki is this to Music/DirEnGrey. Also gets the OldShame treatment, as he is largely overlooked by the fandom.
* TheJinx: Not only did the curse of unstable band lineups befall him, but it also affected ''every single band'' who worked under UnderCode production. Eventually the label itself was dissolved in early 2013.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He is a highly proficient bass player, being able to player faster, heavier and more complex basslines than current Music/DirEnGrey bassist Toshiya (who can only come close in some songs). But had he allowed the band to debut early, he would have, alongside the band, acquired the attention of Music/YoshikiHayashi, brought to the forefront of the VK scene, had a more stable musical career.
