He was a member of the Japanese legendary rock group BOØWY from 1982 to 1988. Tomoyasu Hotei is the same band's member. Now, he lives in Los Angeles, California. He purchased a palatial residence in Beverly Hills in 2004 which Shaquille O'Neal, basket ball player, sold bacause of transference to another team. His nickname is "Himurock".
"Wild Romance" was used as an ending theme music of "Van Helsing" that was dubbed into Japanese language.
He has ever played the music with Steve Stevens. For example, Stevens participated in Himuro's album as a guitarist and his concert tour after his album "I・DE・A".
When he was 23 years old, he married his wife who is an acquaintance from high school days. He is the father of 2 sons and 1 daughter.
On August 22, 2004, he held a concert, which is title "21th Century Boowys VS HIMURO", in Tokyo Dome. He sang many BOØWY era's songs after sixteen years' silence in this concert.
Most recently, Himuro's song "CALLING", from his 1989 album "NEO FASCIO", was used as the Theme Song to the highly anticipated 2005 CG Film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
