Timeline
Yoshiki Fukuyama (福山 芳樹) is a Japanese musician, singer and songwriter.
He originally became known on an international level for his work in the anime Macross 7 where he was the singing voice and guitar of the show's main character, Basara Nekki.

Yoshiki Fukuyama was born in Tokyo and raised in Kamakura.
At age 5, he began taking piano lessons.
He and his future bandmate, Toshiyuki Furuya, had the same piano teacher.
In his early teen years, he discovered The Beatles, which led to his interest in playing guitar.
In high school, Fukuyama was a member of a Queen tribute band called “他” (hoka), which means “other” in Japanese.
The band was reportedly so named because they were frequently listed as “other” on concert billings.
Fukuyama currently lives in Kamakura along with his wife, a daughter, and a few pets.
He and his wife, Kyoko Fukuyama, generally work as a songwriting team; he composes the music while she writes most of the lyrics for his songs.

On his solo albums, he performs all of the instruments except drums (played by Shoichiro Aso) for most of the songs.
In college, Yoshiki Fukuyama, Toshiyuki “Rocky” Furuya, and various friends formed the band Doolin Dalton (later changed to Dalton Kougyou), often performing songs by The Eagles and similar bands.
Fukuyama played bass and shared the lead vocal position with Furuya.
Fukuyama also played guitar and sang with the comedy rock band Kirenjaku.
Although he occasionally sang lead with Kirenjaku, fellow band member Takeshi Yamaguchi performed most of the band's lead vocals.
Kirenjaku recorded one four-song EP.
Fukuyama and Furuya, along with several other friends formed the band Maps.
Following a Macross 25th anniversary concert, Fukuyama and actor Nobutoshi Kanna joined forces to perform a number of concerts together.
Since the production of Macross 7, the two men had worked together portraying the character Basara Nekki.
Humming Bird played a blend of rock and folk with roots in the hard rock and roll of the 1960s to 1980s, such as Queen or The Beatles.
Initially, Humming Bird had only two official members: Yoshiki Fukuyama on guitar and vocals and Toshiyuki Furuya on bass and vocals.
By 1988, Maps had evolved into the band Humming Bird for which Fukuyama is often remembered.
The final band roster was set in 1992 with the official addition of Shoichiro Aso on drums.
Humming Bird enjoyed moderate success, having released nine albums before disbanding in May 2000.

Also he and his band, Humming Bird, are both listed in the “Thank You” section of all the Fire Bomber album credits.
Fukuyama began his solo career after Humming Bird.
