One Ok Rock (Japanese: ワンオクロック, Hepburn: Wan Oku Rokku; stylized in all caps) is a Japanese rock band formed in 2005. The band currently consists of vocalist Takahiro Moriuchi, guitarist Toru Yamashita, bassist Ryota Kohama, and drummer Tomoya Kanki. Former members include drummer Yu Koyanagi and guitarist Alexander "Alex" Reimon Onizawa. They play varied styles of music, with songs ranging from alternative rock and emo to post-hardcore and pop-punk. One Ok Rock was originally affiliated with Amuse since their debut in 2007. The band left Amuse on April 1, 2021, and established their own management agency, named 10969 Inc. They are signed with the Fueled by Ramen record label in the United States. The band rose to international fame with their 2012 single "The Beginning" from their sixth album Jinsei×Boku=, which led them to concerts and music festivals outside of Asia. Following this success, One Ok Rock began releasing dual versions (Japanese-English and full English) of subsequent albums, with two to three different tracks on each version. Their seventh studio album, 35xxxv, became the band's first to enter Billboard music charts in the US, peaking at No. 11 on Heatseekers Albums, No. 43 on Independent Albums, No. 23 on Hard Rock Albums, and No. 1 on the World Albums chart. The band's eighth album, Ambitions, which incorporated more arena rock and pop-rock, debuted at No. 106 on the Billboard 200 and entered several international charts as well. The band adopted a more electronic and pop sound on their ninth album Eye of the Storm (2019). They experimented with a more rock-centered sound while still incorporating modern pop-rock for their 2022 album, Luxury Disease. They continued to experiment with pop-rock for their 2025 album Detox. One Ok Rock won Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards for Eastern Breakthrough Male Band in 2016, and Rock Sound Awards for Best International Band in 2017 and Best Live Performance in 2018. The band was also nominated for two Alternative Press Music Awards – Best International Band in 2016 and Best Breakthrough Band in 2017.

History

Taka
Taka (タカ, real name: Takahiro Moriuchi (森内貴寛); born April 17, 1988) is from Tokyo. He is the band's vocalist.
Toru
Toru (トオル; real name: Toru Yamashita (山下亨); born December 7, 1988) is from Osaka Prefecture and is the band's guitarist.
He is the leader of the band. During the period when the band had five members, he served as rhythm guitarist and vocalist, but became the lead guitarist when the band became a four-member group following Alex's departure. He also performed rap in the band's early period. In addition to composing, he has written lyrics for songs including "Yumeyume".
He comes from a family of four consisting of his parents and an older brother who is six years his senior.
On December 28, 2021, he announced on his Instagram that he had married actress Aya Omasa. Their relationship became known on January 1, 2021.
On January 9, 2025, his wife, actress Aya Omasa, announced through her Instagram that the couple were expecting their first child. On May 7, Omasa announced through her Instagram that their first child, a son, had been born.
Childhood
In his third year of elementary school, he met Ryota, who was one grade below him, at the dance school he had begun attending, Caless Vocal & Dance School. Two years later, four boys, including Toru and Ryota, were selected to form a children's street dance team called HEADS. They began traveling to Tokyo by Shinkansen every weekend to perform in places such as pedestrian precincts.
While in elementary school, he had the opportunity to see a Dragon Ash concert and told Kj, "When I grow up, I'll form a band too." Years later, he reunited with Kj as Toru of ONE OK ROCK, surprising Kj when he learned that he was the elementary school student from that time.
Band Years
His management agency was Amuse, and he made his CD debut in the summer of his sixth year of elementary school and appeared in the media. However, shortly after moving to Tokyo in his third year of junior high school at the recommendation of his agency, his contract with his record company was terminated.
At that time, his manager introduced him to rock music, and he began frequently attending live performances by Rize and other bands. In April 2005, during his second year of high school, he formed a band with Ryota on bass, his classmate You on drums, and the older student Alex on lead guitar, while he himself handled rhythm guitar and vocals. Around the same time, he attended one of Taka's live performances through a friend and was overwhelmed by his voice and singing ability, recruiting him as the lead vocalist on the spot. After forcefully obtaining his agreement, the group became a five-piece band and began its activities in earnest.
At the time of the band's formation, he and Taka were often turned away when they approached live music venues because of prejudice related to their previous careers. In order to develop the band as quickly as possible, they booked as many live performances as they could, playing nearly 40 shows in the year and a half following its formation. The day before each performance, he sent long, passionate emails to every member.
Personal Life
He is a major fan of Avril Lavigne, and an interview with her as a band was arranged when she visited Japan.
When a diary was published serially on the official website, Tomoya once referred to him as “older brother”, which subsequently became one of the names used for him among fans. Taka also often addresses him as “Toru-san”. He is the only one of the four members without tattoos.
He played Ryugo in the television drama series Sh15uya (January–March 2005, TV Asahi), and played Acquaintance A from Kyosuke’s former school in Kamen Rider Hibiki (January 2005–January 2006, TV Asahi).
