森内 貴寛
Takahiro Moriuchi (森内 貴寛 Moriuchi Takahiro, born April 17, 1988 in Tokyo), known professionally as Taka, is the lead vocalist of the Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK. Prior to this, he was in the boyband NEWS throughout 2003 until he left the group and the agency. Taka is the lyricist and composer of his band.
Taka was born on April 17, 1988, the eldest son of famous Japanese singers Masako Mori and Shinichi Mori. He has two younger brothers named Tomohiro Moriuchi and Hiroki Moriuchi who is the lead singer of the band MY FIRST STORY.
He attended Keio Elementary School and graduated in March 2001. Then he attended Keio Middle School in April 2001 and continued his studies at Keio High School in April 2004. On his first year of High School (March 2005), he dropped out to pursue his musical career. A month later, his parents divorced.
In 2005, he changed his last name from Moriuchi (森内) to Morita (森田) due to the divorce of his parents. However, in the June 2012 issue of the magazine, ROCKIN'ON JAPAN, he stated in an interview that his real name is Takahiro Moriuchi. In 2013, he is shown again in a photo using his last name, Moriuchi, where all ONE OK ROCK band members held a written sign of their real names. The photo was taken by photographer, Rui Hashimoto.
Taka signed with Johnny's Entertainment in 2002 and joined the boy band, NEWS, in 2003. He left in 2004 to "focus on his studies". He was briefly in a band called Chivalry of Music in 2004.
