Hironobu Kageyama (影山 ヒロノブ, Kageyama Hironobu, real name written 景山 浩宣, born February 18, 1961) is a Japanese singer and composer prominent in the soundtracks for anime, video game and tokusatsu productions. He is sometimes called Kami (Kei) by his fans. Kageyama got his big break at age 16, as lead singer of the rock band Lazy. By the early '80s, the band split and Kageyama went solo. He found major success once he started to sing the theme songs of anime and tokusatsu shows. Becoming immensely popular soon after, Kageyama went on to be dubbed the "Prince of Anime/Tokusatsu Songs" and is a main fixture for shows to this day.

Kageyama gained notoriety for his opening songs of Dengeki Sentai Changeman, Hikari Sentai Maskman, Chōjin Sentai Jetman, and Dragon Ball Z. He is the original member and current leader of the anisong band JAM Project. Along with Masaaki Endoh, Kageyama hosted Anipara Ongakukan, a TV show aired on the Kids Station Channel that showed live performances of the theme songs of recent anime and tokusatsu shows. The show was canceled in 2017.[1]

Kageyama is also the voice of Zaruba, a mystical talking ring, as well as the loyal ally and advisor to the titular hero of the tokusatsu franchise Garo, for which JAM Project has performed the opening themes.

Career

While still a high school student in Osaka, Kageyama formed Lazy with classmates Akira Takasaki and Shunji Inoue. The group appeared on Asahi Broascasting, where they were discovered by musician Hiroshi Kamayatsu. The group moved to Tokyo and released five albums before their initial breakup in 1981. That year, Kageyama released his first solo album on the Tokuma label. He signed with Nippon Columbia in 1985. Columbia recommended him to Toei as a singer for the opening theme of Dengeki Sentai Changeman.[2] The opening, performed under the pseudonym KAGE, led Kageyama to pivot to a career in anisong.

In 2000, he signed with Lantis, then run by former bandmate Inoue, and co-founded the anisong supergroup JAM Project with Ichiro Mizuki.

Personal life

Kageyama is married and the father of two daughters. His elder daughter, Risa, is a Korean-to-Japanese translator and interpreter, and a former voice actress. His younger daughter, Nana, is a singer-songwriter in her own right and has written songs with her father.

He is an avid cyclist.[3]
