Kojiro Yamazaki (born September 8, 1989) is a Japanese musician who plays drums for The Ohayogozaimas since 2017, beginning with the Maeda EP. Beforehand, he had played some shows as a support drummer for The Ohayogozaimas before they had a dedicated drummer position.
Outside The Ohayogozaimas, Kojiro is also a member of JYOCHO and komodo Inc., and support drums for other bands, such as N.I.C.K.. Prior to 2017, he was the drummer for rock band Cö Shu Nie from 2011-2017.
Kojiro Yamazaki's drum styling is mainly focused on pop music and jazz fusion, So playing the drums for a metal band like The Ohayogozaimas was initially a challenge. In fact, he had trouble after performing the first show with The Ohayogozaimas as a support drummer.
