Early life and career edit

Itō had been interested in music since he was a child, leaning how to play piano and violin. At Momochi Junior High School, he joined a brass band with a euphonium and tuba. He entered Seinan Gakuin High School and chose to become a flute player, but after reading Sadao Watanabe 's autobiography, Boku Jishin no Tame no Jazz, he turned to alto saxophone.

He entered the Nihon University College of Art and belonged to the Rhythm Society Orchestra.[4] At the same time, he joined the bands Witch Hunt and Last Day. The drummer of Witch Hunt, Michael Seiichi Kawai, was also the drummer for a band called The Square, led by guitarist Masahiro Andō, and Itō made guest appearances due to this connection.[5] After the disbandment of Witch Hunt, he joined The Square in 1977.[6]

Debut and T-Square edit

In 1984, he released his debut album, Dear Hearts.[7] In 1985, he released his second album L7.[8]

In 1990, he left T-Square to pursue a solo career, but returned to the band in late 2000.[9] Around the time of his return, T-Square had split into two separate groups: Trio The Square (with bassist Mitsuru Sutō, drummer Hiroyuki Noritake and keyboardist Keiji Matsumoto) and T-Square (with Itō, guitarist Masahiro Andō and session musicians).[10] From 2004 and onward, T-Square relied on newer, now Full-time band members.

In 2014, he released the album Favorites, his first solo album in seven years.[11][12]

In 2021, Masahiro Ando left T-Square, effectively making Takeshi Itoh the band's leader.
