Takeshi Itoh

Takeshi Itoh (伊東たけし, Itō Takeshi^?) (born 15 March 1954 in Japan), nicknamed "T.K." by fans, (possibly because of his 1988 Solo Album, which is also titled "T.K."), is a Japanese Saxophonist, EWIst, Lyriconist, Keyboardist and flutist and currently serves as saxophonist of the band T-Square.

Itoh was the original saxophonist of T-Square from 1978 until 1990 when he left the band due to several problems. He was replaced by Masato Honda who is now pursuing his solo career. Honda was later replaced by Takahiro Miyazaki who is also pursuing his solo career.

Itoh returned to the band in 2000 and become a full-time member of the band with the leader, Masahiro Andoh as guitarist. Itoh and Andoh are the only original members of The Square/T-Square since its formation in 1978.
