Yu~ki is the former bassist of the Visual kei band Malice Mizer. He had been with the band from its beginning (in 1992) until they announced they'd be going on an indefinite hiatus in December, 2001. Yu~Ki joined with Közi's solo work, writing the lyrics for the single "MEMENTO", but has otherwise remained inactive.

* Yu~ki claims that the first thing he does in a morning is eat chocolate.
* After the departure of Malice Mizer's vocalist, Tetsu, he was asked to become Malice Mizer's new voice but declined.
* In live performances with Malice Mizer, Yu~ki assumed the position of a Count or Vampire; Gackt was usually the Hero or Angel of Death, Közi often took the roles of Clown or Jester, and Mana was the Girl. This pattern carried over into the band's movie reinterpretation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula", in which Yu~ki played Dracula.
* Yu~ki wrote the music to the Malice Mizer song "Syunikiss　～二度目の哀悼～". He also wrote the lyrics to both versions of Közi's song "Memento".
* Although there are many rumours as to what his real name and year of birth are, none have been proven.
* Yu~ki is notorious for being shy and would often rely on late Malice Mizer member Kami for dance cues. Once during a live show Kami ran offstage, leaving Yu~ki holding the mic and he was struck with stage fright while talking to the audience
* Yu~ki's Malice Mizer colours were orange and yellow
* Yu~ki said that if he were to run a weekly show on sunday at 7pm it would be called Love Attack 88...Yuuki vs. 88 Beautiful Women ^{[http://www.lerman.biz/asagao/translations/malice_mizer/interviews/groupint1.html|1]}
