Tachibana Kli

Tachibana Kli (橘クリ) is a multi-ethnic model & recording artist.
At a young age, Tachibana Kli was signed by a modeling agency in Nagoya, Japan to be a local model and quickly made his mark on the Japanese Entertainment Industry becoming one among the first ethnic (mixed Japanese Mixed Exotic European) male models to be accepted in the Japanese Entertainment industry as one of their own. After high school, Kli moved to New York and continued his modeling work there while writing music in his spare time.
Since his debut, Kli has been the face of a wide variety of advertising campaigns internationally including Dior Homme Japan, Motorola, XBox 360, Los Angeles Royalty by Marciano, Yoga Army, Paul Mitchell & UNI QLO. Kli has also walked the runways of New York's Fashion Week as well as Tokyo, Osaka, & Kobe Collections. He has also appeared regularly in Japan's leading Men's Fashion Magazine Men's Non-No (メンズノンノ), as well as several other magazines internationally including ORICON Stlye, YRB Magazine, Flaunt Magazine, Lifestyle 101, & URBANOLOGY Magazine, just to name a few.
Along with modeling in Japan, his film/television career also began after his modeling debut with a small role as a Half-Japanese student on the first season of the Japanese Drama Gokusen (ごくせん), and made 4 appearances throughout the series. He also then became a regular personality on the Japanese Variety TV show Sanma's Karakuri TV (さんまさんのカラクリテレビ) as well as a lead role on the Japanese Drama Series 'Manhattan Diaries.' Other screen credits include appearances on the CBS show 'Love Monkey,' the Talia Lugacy short film, 'Little Black Dress,' MTV Asia's 'Suby Cheng Show,' & MTV's 'My Big Ten' (in which he was featured as a guest host). He has also appeared in several commercials for MTV, UNI QLO, XBox 360, & Yokkaichi Television.
Kli also appeared in several music videos as a model/actor throughout the United States & Japan. His first video in 2002 was a lucky break with the acclaimed musical artist Ayumi Hamasaki (浜崎 あゆみ) in the video 'Endless Sorrow' directed by the prolific Japanese music video director Wataru Takeishi (竹石渉). He can also, most recently, be seen as the lead in several other music videos such as, Timbaland ft. OneRepublic's, 'Apologize,' Seether's, 'Fake It,' Terra Naomi's, 'Up Here,' Shiny Toy Guns', 'You Are the One,' and most recently Sony Japan Recording Artist Becca Hollcraft's 'Perfect Me.'
In January 2006, Kli took a temporary hiatus from modeling to focus solely on his music, but after a twist of events, by the following year, he returned full force once again to the modeling world in Japan and the U.S.
Kli is currently working hard in and out of the studio on his music. He currently resides between Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo and can't wait to explode onto the music scene, and hopefully the iPod, which you, the prospective fan, own.
