Timeline

Kyoji Yamamoto (山本 恭司) is a Japanese musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer who is the leader of the hard rock/heavy metal bands Bow Wow (known as Vow Wow for a period of time) and Wild Flag.

He is known for his skillful guitar playing, with former bandmate Neil Murray calling him one of the top Japanese guitarists, and was one of the first hard rock guitarist to use the tapping technique.

Yamamoto often uses 24-fret Yamaha HR guitars.

Through his sister, Yamamoto was influenced by classical music and The Beatles; the first rock song he heard was The Beatles' version of "Rock and Roll Music".

He experienced culture shock after seeing the Woodstock film; "Up to that point, I hadn't had a chance to listen to real rock music, so when I saw people smoking dope and running around naked, and musicians like Alvin Lee and Keith Moon in 'Woodstock,' it was like a spark going off in my head."

The first song he learned on guitar was "Love Like a Man" by Lee's band Ten Years After, but he was also influenced by Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore and Jimi Hendrix.

He started a band at school and music gradually took over his life before he moved to Tokyo.

1975

After entering Yamaha Music School, Yamamoto formed Bow Wow in 1975, and they released their debut album a year later.

The following year, they opened for Aerosmith and Kiss.

Yamamoto began a solo career in 1980, and has appeared as a special guest performer for numerous musicians.

However, the show was cancelled.
