Kamijo is a Japanese singer.[6] He is best known as lead singer of the visual kei bands Lareine and Versailles. He has also been the head of two independent record labels; the first being Applause Records (formed in 2000), and currently Chateau Agency, which was formerly known as Sherow Artist Society from 2006 to 2016.

Kamijo began his music career in 1994 with the rock band Lareine. After 13 years, including a brief period where he was the sole member and also formed the short-lived band New Sodmy, Kamijo ended Lareine in 2006. He then co-founded then symphonic power metal band Versailles in 2007. When they paused activities in 2012, Kamijo began a solo career the following year. Versailles resumed activities in December 2015.
