Kiyoshiro Imawano, hailed by critics and fans as \"Japan's King of Rock,\" shaped the development of Japanese rock like no other musician for over four decades. As frontman of the influential band RC Succession, under countless pseudonyms, and as a solo artist, he created a musical legacy that continues to resonate today. His death in 2009 drew over 42,000 grieving fans to his funeral—the same number as at the legendary Hibari Misora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis Bearbrick celebrates Imawano's vibrant stage presence and rebellious spirit through explosive pop art design. The head features a chaotic arrangement of colorful lettering and letters in vibrant orange, red, blue, green, and yellow—prominently including the name \"TIMERS,\" Imawano's most famous pseudonym project alongside RC Succession. THE TIMERS were known for their eccentric aesthetic and their unforgettable Japanese cover version of The Monkees' \"Daydream Believer.\" The red and white checkered collar adds a playful, anarchic touch, while the black leather jacket with white zipper details captures the musician's unmistakable rock 'n' roll attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe purple trousers with a red and white diamond pattern on the legs and the yellow shoes with black polka dots complete the colorful, unconventional outfit. Flesh-colored hands with orange-red cuffs add further pops of color. This design perfectly embodies Imawano's pioneering work in integrating Japanese linguistic features into rock songs, his anti-nuclear activism after Chernobyl in 1986, and his fearless artistic vision that brought him together with greats like Ryuichi Sakamoto and Booker T. \u0026amp; the MG's. As a SECRET figure in Series 27, this Bearbrick is an absolute rarity and a must-have for collectors of Japanese music history and designer toy enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52312152768778,"sku":"B@S2712","price":64.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-27-artist-kiyoshiro-imawano-100-secret-bild.webp?v=1766618989","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.co.uk\/products\/bearbrick-series-27-artist-kiyoshiro-imawano-100-secret","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
