Kyounosuke Yoshitate (Japanese: 佳館杏ノ助, Hepburn: Yoshitate Kyōnosuke, born June 17) is a Japanese singer, songwriter and a voice actor. In addition to his solo work, he is a vocalist and costume designer in a music duo Yatagarasu (formerly Bangetsutei) formed with his younger sister Fuyu. He is a voice provider for the Vocaloid Nekomura Iroha.[1] He is mostly know for his covers of anime and Vocaloid songs, traditional Japanese arrangements and Shōwa kayō singing style. He is learning to play the shamisen.[2] His blood type is A Rh+.[3]

He is a transgender man[4] and uses he/him pronouns.[5][6]

He is represented by the artist management company Rush Style.[7]

Music career

edit

Kyounosuke's parents love music and he liked to sing ever since he was a child.[3] Apparently he noticed his above-average vocal range after trying to sing "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. He has been aiming to become a vocalist ever since junior high school.[3] In 2010 he started his career as an utaite singer, publishing covers of Vocaloid songs on Niconico and registered as an artist with Puresound Inc.[8]

Collaborations with Kineie Nami

edit

In August 2011, a renowned shamisen player Nami Kineie published on Niconico and Youtube an instrumental cover of Touhou Project's Bad Apple!! in traditional Japanese arrangement.[9][10] After hearing this version, Kyounosuke decided to record the song using Kineie's audio.[11] Kyounosuke's sister Fuyu, who is a poet and an expert on Japanese literature[3], translated the lyrics into classical Japanese.[11] The cover was immediately noticed by Kineie, and Kyounosuke got permission to include the song on his albums and make a music video. The video, published on Kyounosuke's Youtube channel in December 2014, got over 2,7 mln views (as of June 2024).[12] In the meantime, Kyounosuke got invited to a collaboration project "Wagaku" with Kineie's band (Kineie Nami Shachū). Their most notable work is a music video to Senbonzakura in traditional arrangement. It was included on 2 albums, and the digest version published in 2012 on Kineie's channel amassed over 4,5 mln views (as of June 2024).[13]

Bangetsutei/Yatagarasu

edit

Kyounosuke is a member of a creative unit Yatagarasu (夜tagarasu) he formed with his younger sister Fuyu. Former name of the unit was Bangetsutei (萬月邸), and was a reference to Kyounosuke's birthday month, June. The new name refers to the Japanese god Yatagarasu; they changed it on May 5, 2024.[14][15][16]On the same day they also started a podcast.[17](Up to 2020 they used to do live talk sessions on Kyounosuke's Twitcasting account,[18] but stopped when Kyounosuke started doing broadcasts exclusively for his Campfire fan club.)[19]

It is not know when exactly the unit's activity started, but Bangetsutei's official website has already existed in 2012.[8] Their focus is on creating music commemorating Japanese historical figures. Kyounosuke provides vocals and designs stage costumes while Fuyu writes lyrics and provides backing vocals.[20]

Rush Style

edit

Kyounosuke used to be a freelance artist through most of his career. After being rejected by many talent agencies for being transgender[4], on March 1, 2023[21] he finally got accepted by the seiyū agency Rush Style. Although he identifies as a male, he can do voice acting also for female roles, so he got listed under "genderless artists" category.[7]

Personal life

edit

He was born in Yokohama, but grew up in Machida, where he lives with his family. He has a younger sister Fuyu, with whom he performs as Yatagarasu, and a younger brother.

Kyounosuke's family has always had 2 dogs. After their beloved golden retriever Komachi passed away in 2019, 2 years later they've got another golden retriever and named her Alice.[74] However, Kyounosuke's favourite is a Westie called Iroha (named after Irohahime, the daughter of Date Masamune)[75]. Kyounosuke often publishes pictures of his dogs on X and even runs a separate Instagram account dedicated to their photos.[76]

Coming out

edit

On December 23, 2020, Kyounosuke published a video on his Youtube channel confirming that he is a transgender man.[4] In the video he says that, because of his ability to sing very high notes and his gender-neutral appearance, there has been a lot of speculations regarding his assigned gender, but during the first 10 years of his career, he didn't feel like doing the coming-out yet, struggling with gender dysphoria. He says that being trans has been a big obstacle while pursuing his dreams of being an artist and that he has been teased and mocked by people from the music industry. Apparently he even planned to abandon his career if he had not been able to release Byakurenshō album.[4]

He reveals that he started receiving HRT in the summer of 2017, but quitted it after 5 months out of fear that if his voice became too low, he wouldn't be able to make a living as a singer. Before receiving HRT his voice range was over 4 octaves, but afterwards it dropped to 2 octaves; by doing voice training he was able to restore it to 3 octaves and 6 tones. Apparently his fans started noticing a difference in his voice and were worried for him, but he was afraid they would reject him if he came out as trans.[4]

Kyounosuke says that when in the beginning of 2020 the pandemic hit Japan, he decided to live without regrets and resumed HRT in July 2020. That also inspired him to finally make a public coming-out.[4]

After the coming-out, in January 2021 he created a Youtube subchannel where he publishes videos discussing LGBTQ+ related topics.[77]
