-PLEASE READ-

I understand there is some confusion as to Kaya's gender. He is a male, and as far as I have seen, identifies as such. Please understand, however, that in Japan, crossdressing is not viewed in quite the same way as in Western cultures. It has roots in kabuki theater, with what is referred to as the "onnagata" role. However, as the history of kabuki is much too complex to deal with here, I recommend a quick Google search if you wish to learn more.

As for sexual identification, Kaya's interviews strongly suggest that his attraction is not limited to one gender, but whether he identifies as gay, bi, or even pansexual has not been explicitly stated. Despite his own preferences, there are many other feminine-attired musicians in Japanese popular music who are straight, and view it as nothing more than a fashion choice.

Finally, let me say that this is a touchy subject, with many strong feelings tied up in it, and the last place there should be a heated debate is on Youtube. Furthermore, blatant hate speech, stupidity, or homophobia will not be tolerated, and such comments will be deleted accordingly. Please keep your comments respectful, both to Kaya, and to other people. Thank you! ^_^

Like many Japanese artists, Kaya performs under a stage name. As far as I know, his given name has not been made public. ^^

Unfortunately there's still a large difference between Japanese acceptance of the fanservice-y homoeroticism that so many performers tease their fans with, and actual homosexuality. I'm sure even among Visual Kei musicians there's plenty of bigotry, unfortunately. That's why Kaya's openness is fairly revolutionary. I do know that there are many okama bars and host clubs (and other things) in 2-chome that are centered around transvestism, but it's a niche market, certainly.

I was under the impression that cross-dressing in Japan was pretty much limited to entertainers on stage, a good deal of whom are straight, but it seems to me that Visual-Key does give someone who's gay or bi a place to hide or even feel accepted. I've also heard that 'mainstream' Japanese don't necessarily like someone who's gay; until recently (10 years?), homosexuality was considered a mental illness there. If anything, gay or bi J-Rockers would need to feel safe by hiding in plain sight.
