With a career spanning over 20 years, it is obvious that Twigy has been one of the founders and pioneers of the Japanese hip hop scene. His earliest records were with groups such as Audio Sports in the early 90's, which featured production by electronic producer Takemura Nobukazu and even vocals by Yamatsuka Eye now of the Japanoise group the Boredoms. In the mid 90's Twigy formed the legendary group Microphone Pager along with DJ Muro (a.k.a. the King Of Diggin') which laid the foundation of Japanese rap and released countless Japanese hip hop classics.
