Here is the general info, random info and some pics of Hyde. One thing about Hyde is that he doesn't seem to age, I mean no matter that he does, his face still has that boyish look on it ne? I think of Hyde as the Asian male version of Madonna, since he has changed his look soooo many times over the years. In the beginning of L'arcs career he had long dark hair, and then he cut it cuase ppl mistook him for a girl o.0 and they called him kawaii. Awwww...so anyway he was mad that ppl didn't think he was kakkoi and all the members of the group got called "kakkoi" while he was refered to as "kawaii." But I don't know I think he looks pretty kawaii with short blond hair. But then in the "Forbidden Lover" vid he looks pretty good with that blond hair. Well Hyde has had blond short hair, short dark hair, red hair, blue hair, long dark hair and more recently long blond hair. Then there was that whole period where he wore white. Ahh and so on, quite the cameleon, well his fans will never get bored with his looks.
Name: Hyde but is pronounced Haido *fangirl screams: "Aishiteru koi!"* In an interview the interviewer asked him his name and he said "Hyde" and said it was a pun on his real name, the Tetsu barged in and said "DOIHACHIRO" was his real name, cuase if you spell it backwards you get Haido and that leads to Hyde. Tetsu made that up though ^^;;
Real Name:Hideto Takarai
Age: Unknown becuase my koi, I mean Hyde is secreative and refuses to give this information. But it's rumored that he's around Tetsu's age, which means he's 33.
D.O.B: Jan. 29th *that makes him an aquarian like me YAY!*
Martial status: he's married, his wife's name is Megumi. So he's no longer available. But he's in my dreams. But anyway let's not talk anymore about this before I go into a ranting frenzy. But oh well...he likes her. Ahh they meet on some show and she gave him her photobook and apparently he had had a crush on her for some time so the ppl of the show arranged for them to meet *rolls eyes* But I guess all Hyde fans should be happy that he's happy ne? Well at least I hope he's happy. Ahh my online friend told me something very disturbing the other day, he told me that Hyde and Megumi got in a fight and then Hyde went to hospital for an overdose. I can't believe this!!!! Ehh well let's not hope that Megumi is pushing Hyde-sama to such extremes ne. But then again he can do like Ken and get a divorce *evil grin*
Astrology
Western Zodiac: Aquarius
Aquarians are known for progressive thinking, they're also smart, funny and easy to talk to. Ruled by the planet Uranus, the planet of change and the unexpected occurences. Tendan to be major know-it-alls. Colors are bright blue, the crystal clear color of sky.
Chinese Zodiac
Now if Hyde is really born on Jan 29th in 1968. Then he'd fall under the "Sheep." His element would be fire and aspect is Yin. Characteristic of Sheep: artistry, culture, kindness, gentleness, intelligence, sensitivity yet they suffer from insecurity. They have a strong artistic sensitivity, which makes them drawn to the world of music and the arts. Ohhooohhhoo it says sheep make excellent interior designers. Heh I think Hyde-sama is a sheep for sure ^^. Sheep like being part of a group, not comfortable in the position of leader, they're happy taking the supporting role. Ohh some notable hobby of the sheep is food, buying clothes and sleeping. Sheep love to have extended family around them, which explains why Hyde had such a hard time moving to Tokyo away from his parents when L'arc first started.
The sheep lover: they tend to be shy, self conscious and insecure but very family oriented. Romantic creatures, soft hearted and compassionate. Best love matches are, Pigs (me *cackle*), Rabbits and Horses. They have heavenly relationships with ppl born under these animals.
The Aquarian sheep: brilliantly inventive minds who cannot be pinned down. Colorful character and free spirited, elusive and electric; they live for the moment.

Fun facts
- Wheh Hyde was little he used to cry a lot so his father made him learn kung fu so that he'd be tougher. I'm a martial artist, but I do tae kwon do. But I got into it before I knew of Hyde. ^^ He and I have another thing in common.
- Hyde's mom made him sleep in a girls dresses. He says he ripped at it and eventually it became a cave man type outfit.

- Hyde likes European style furniture and has decorated his house, well apartment in such manner.
- He likes to cook, ahh Megumi is lucky.
- He has an interesting sense of humor. He pretended to be gay with a friend of his, Kiyoharu . He's cute, I don't mind that. I'm a yaoi fan ^^ They both commented on this fact in an interview, ppl say that they're homos cuase they are a lot of pics where they are hugging. LOL
- Hyde likes art but he's color blind ^^; Although he can see most colors except for greens and pinks I think. He does draw but everything is in B&W. Art was his fav subject in school.
- Hyde's treasure? Well in an interview he said, "Madoragora is... errr how-do-you-say-this... It's a kind of root that is shaped like a man. When someone pulls out that root, screaming [Kaaaaa], the person who pulled that root and the person who heard the screaming will die. Anyway I have the root with me." o.0 Even Tetsu was puzzled by this strange root that Hyde had.
- He believed in Santa Claus until he was a senior in elementary school. Awwww kawaii
- Hyde thinks that devils are fascinating and he doesn't trust gods. Quote, "I'm kind of rebellious against gods." Hmm this confirms what I've noticed he does have that evil look on his face at times, sometimes when preforming live ne?
- When Hyde was 20 he lived with his girlfriend for 4 years and b/c of this he says that he has learned a great deal about females. He's very shy when it comes to approaching women, b/c he'll only do it if he knows that they are interested in him. Ohhh Hyde-sama...
- Besides music Hyde thinks that women are the second best thing ^^ Heh most jrockers have that same type of philosophy ne?
- Hyde has joined the Harry Potter craze and reads it every night.
- Hyde worte the lyrics for "Evergreen" from the point of view of a friend of his who died over the summer. He said he thought of how his friend was feeling at the time about his wife that he was leaving behind. He played with this guy in one of his previous bands during indies days ^^
- Best Hyde quote: "Move your hips! You were born by your father and mother moving them." (Translated by Liv) Heh Hyde such a naughty boy huh? But it's true what he's saying ^^ He said that at a live on the final day. I was reading these Hyde facts on a site and found out that Hyde and Ken are quite the hentais and he's not so innocent as he looks ^^.
Heh Hyde seems to have a really interesting personality from the interviews I've read. But neithertheless I think it'd be cool to interview him and ask all those silly fangirl questions we've all thought up ^^
