Early musical career
Kenshi Yonezu was born in Tokushima, Japan, on March 10, 1991, in the rural area. Yonezu, especially his father, found it difficult to associate with others as a child. Yonezu used to believe that his mother knew him. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 20 and has Marfan syndrome.
Late Rabbit Edda, Yonezu's first foray into music, formed a band with his pal Hiroshi Nakajima in 2006, where he and his friend Hiroshi Nakajima formed a Late Rabbit Edda to compete in the school culture festival. While Nakajima was the guitarist, he served as the singer, songwriter, and occasional guitarist. He created a website for the band in late 2007, broadcasting song lyrics and short stories. Yonezu wrote songs for the band from April 2008 to March 2009, and they uploaded 24 original songs to Nico Nico Douga's video sharing website Nico Nico Douga under the name Hachi. None of the songs were well liked, with "Beelzebub" receiving only 23,000 views. In this period, Yonezu began blogging Tekit Edda (EDDA).
After high school, Yonezu migrated to Osaka and began attending a fine arts academy. When he was a student at the university, he started releasing songs using Vocaloid software Hatsune Miku instead, which were also very popular. "Musunde Rasetsu to Mukuro," his first song to receive over 1,000,000 views on the site, was released in 2009. Despite the fact that Yonezu had recorded over 30 songs sung by himself, he deleted them as his Vocaloid songs became more popular. Denshi-ch Hachibangai (formerly "Electronic Notebook 8th Avenue"), one of five blogs named with the Diamond Award at the 2009 WebMoney Awards, Yonezu renamed his blog Denshi-ch Hachibangai (aka: "Electronic Notebook 8th Avenue).
