Vocals: 京 (Kyo)
Names
- Last name: 西村 (にしむら, Nishimura)
- Kyo introduces himself as 西村 (Nishimura) in 灰色の銀貨 (Haiiro no Ginka) #11 and says that the Nishimura Bakery in Kyoto isn't his family's bakery. He also wrote his last name in hiragana in DRAGON FLY.
- First name: 宏則 (ひろのり, Hironori)
- Kyo's first name was confirmed by a junior high-school book that was sold online in 2021.
- Stage name: 京 (きょう, Kyo)
- Former: 殀磨 (よま, Yoma)

- This name was given by Kyo in 灰色の銀貨 (Haiiro no Ginka) #15 (2002). It is probably the most famous among Western fans, since it was published in KERRANG! in 2009.
- Allegedly, there's also a porn director with this name. However, this is only partially true, the director's actual name is 村西とおる (Muranishi Tooru), with the kanji of the last name switched around.
- 西村 京太郎 (Nishimura Kyōtarō)
- Kyōtarō Nishimura (died March 3, 2022) was a Japanese writer of mystery stories. Kyo wrote this name in a photobook, but crossed out the 太郎 (tarō).
- Niimura Tooru
- This version appeared in a German newspaper in 2005, when the band held their first live in Germany. It's unknown where the author found it.
- 妖磨 (Yoma)
- This name is mistakenly used on the 月蝕 (Gesshoku) VHS.
