BABYMETAL touring guitarist Mikio ‘Ko-Gami’ Fujioka has died at age 36.
Fujioka was one of BABYMETAL’s longtime lead guitarists.
Performing his first show with the Japanese pop metal phenoms in 2013, Fujioka was onstage for BABYMETAL’s biggest shows as they continued to grow as a headlining act. His shredding ability was extremely clean and impressive, as can be seen in clips from events like Sonisphere 2014 and Babymetal’s gigantic Tokyo Dome shows.

He was also part of the band opening for GUNS N’ ROSES and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS last year.
Numerous sources including Metro.co.uk and NME report Fujioka died on Jan. 5 from injuries sustained after falling from an observation deck on Dec. 30, though this has not been confirmed by the band.
