After Bill’s parents divorced at his age of 7, Bill and Tom were raised by his mother. Gradually influenced by his mother’s new boyfriend who is a guitarist, Bill got interested in music ( later on his mother married Gordon). When Bill was 10 years old, he founded a band with the help of his stepfather. He began to play the song that he wrote by himself in a club. During his teenage days, he was considered as a fancy dressing boy among his classmates in his hometown, because he wore the suits and clothes that he made manually. In addition, he always argued with some one else. Soon after, Gustav and Georg joined in their band and they worked very hard under the name of Devilish.

Devilish

 

However, there were rarely good performances. Fortunately, Bill participated in a show program called Star Search. In the show, he sung the “It’s raining man” of Geri Halliwell, and he lost in the quarter-final, which drew the attention of a famous producer. He grasped the opportunity to be a super star and finally the band signed a contract with Universal Music Company in 2005. Then after they made their debuts, Tokio Hotel created a big sensation not only in Germany but also all over the world. Because of too many trips and shows, Bill had to quit his school at the age of 15 and continued studying through tutors and internet. In 2007 he graduated in Koln (notes: school, between junior high school and senior high school). By the way, Bill’s average score in 6 grades was 1.8, which was a very high score (opposite to Japanese score system, 1 is the highest).

 Because of Bill’s fancy dressing, he was chose as the best dresser in German GQ magazine. Besides this he also established his fashion pioneer place. Tokio Hotel attended the Italian fashion brand “DSQUARED2” FW fashion show, did a photo shoot with Karl Lagerfeld for VOGUE Germany 30th anniversary issue and dubbed an animated film named “Arthur und die Minimoys”. Talking about Bill’s girlfriend issue that his fans are interested in, now there is no certain answer, which seems like Bill is not that popular among girls. In the past 7 years, Bill didn’t have a girlfriend and till now he has been looking for.

Tom was born 10 minutes before Bill. They are identical twin brothers. However, they look totally different if we judge from their appearances. Tom always wears a baseball cap, no makeup and wears a Cornrow hairstyle. Now he likes Hip Hop and Cornrow.







Tom admitted this point as well that they look totally different on their outside look. But he believes that if they work together, they will become much stronger as one individual. They are like exactly two sides of one coin.

About their views of love, they think differently. In Tom’s own phrase, he is more popular than Bill among girls. His view of love is quite flexible and he believes that he can have a romantic love even in one night stand.







Although they look differently at first glance, they do have something in common which is study. Tom quit his school at age of 15 as Bill did and graduated in Koln (notes: school, between junior high school and senior high school). Coincidently Tom’s score was exactly the same with Bill’s, 1.8 in 6 grades.

HEALING MUSICAL BASSIST WITH REFRESHING SMILE

Georg’s parents were both doctors, so he grew up in a wealthy family. His parents could not play any instrument, but they all liked rock ‘n’ roll music, especially his father collected many classic rock ‘n’ roll music records of Eric Clapton, Beatles, The Rolling Stone and so on. His home was filled with music all the time. In Georg’s childhood, he was always brought to a live concert, therefore he fell in love with music naturally.





He had ever planned to found a band with his friends in junior high school, but this plan came to naught. Soon after he made acquaintance with Gustav in music school and then they were obsessed with music. Like Bill and Tom, Georg’s parents divorced, but his mother had been telling him to follow his heart no matter what he wanted to do. He pursued everything including music freely. The first impression on Georg since his debut was a boy with refreshing straight hair, but he goes to beauty salon to straighten his hair. Actually his real hair is curl hair.

EARLY BIRD IN THE BAND

Gustav’s father and sister played guitar all the time, so he grew up in a family full of music. His father always played some videos for him when he was at home. Gustav knocked at the table as he beat a drum when he watched the video. Gustav’s father found that Gustav was interested in drum and he sent Gustav to a music school. So Gustav began to beat drums at age of 5. In elementary school, Gustav became interested in other things, however, his father was pretty strict with him. Then his father and Gustav watched Genesis’s video again. Gustav was touched by such a big amount of Genesis’s fans and swore to himself that in the future he wants to be a big shot like Genesis.

After all this, he kept practicing rain and shine. Father’s words were hunting in his mind. Gustav kept practicing as his father taught him, and then he encountered Georg in music school. Soon after, they founded the band with Bill and Tom together under name “Tokio Hotel”. However, in 2008, Gustav got into a big traffic accident. On 5th Nov. he was driving his BMW. He crossed over the lane and ran into a tram. Fortunately, he didn’t suffer injures in this accident while both his BMW and the tram were damaged seriously. Misfortune continued occurring. In July 2009, Gustav was badly injured by a beer bottle which two unknown men held in their fights in a club in Magdeburg. Because of this, he got 36 stitches from his forehead.

Let's see how they have evolved from the little boys to the young man they are today.
