Guitar, chorus: Maneki (招鬼) ♂

Birthday: 2/24
Height: 160cm
Weight: 50kg
Blood type: 0
Star sign: pisces

Kanji-wise "Maneki" means "demon summoner", concerning the reading a more literal translation would be "he who welcomes". In this context "Maneki" is derived from "maneki neko" (招き猫) (welcoming cat), a cat sculpture with an upright paw traditionally said to bring good luck to its owner and often displayed at the entrance of Japanese shops and the like.


Guitar: Karukan (狩姦) ♂

Birthdate: 4/30
Height: 182cm
Weight: 67kg
Blood type: 0
Star sign: taurus

"Karukan" literally approximates "hunter of wickedness". When spoken it apparently resembles the name of a Japanese cat food brand. Interestingly, the kanji for "wickedness" is composed of the kanji for "woman" written three times, so there might be an underlying implication.


Bass, vocals: Matatabi (瞬火) ♂ (ex-Kuusou Kagaku Byounin ~Kami to Memo Kami~ (空想科学病人~紙とメモ紙~))

Birthdate: 12/14
Height: 183cm
Weight: 59kg
Blood type: 0
Star sign: sagittarius

The kanji used to write "Matatabi" come close to the meaning of "flickering fire". The reading, however, is "valerian", a plant having an intoxicating effect on cats.

ex-members

Drums: Tora (斗羅) → Atsushi Kawatsuka (河塚篤史) (spt.) ♂ (PLESURE → Hana*Hana (花*花) (spt.) → Ove (spt.) → Onmyou-za → NESS) (until 2009)

Birthdate: 10/5
Height: 165cm
Weight: 52kg
Blood type: 0
Star sign: virgo

Tora was an official member until 2009 when he "downgraded" to support drummer and then finally left with Tomotaka Ishikawa taking over. His stage name for Onmyou-za is for one part derived from his well-known liking of alcohol and the resulting heavy drinking (to/斗 is a measure for liquids). However, its reading also means "tiger" since Tora is a fan of the baseball team Hanshin Tigers.
