ONE OK ROCK, formed in 2005, composed of five members, Taka, Toru, Alex, Ryota, and Tomoya. The foundation for One Ok Rock began when Toru Yamashita, then a high school student, wanted to start a band. Toru told his friend Ryota Kohama, who had been a fellow member of hiphop dance group, Heads, to learn the Bass and asked Alex to join. After seeing Taka, a vocalist, perform in a cover band, Toru saw him as the best possible candidate for a vocalist in their band, and insisted that he join. Tomoya, the last member to join, joined ONE OK ROCK as a drummer in 2007. Tomoya had played with band on all their albums but only became an official member when they debuted.
The band name, ONE OK ROCK, came from "one o'clock," the time that the band used to practice on weekends. However, noticing that the Japanese language made no distinction between r's and l's, they changed "o'clock" to "o'crock" (or "o'krock") which then became separated to become "ok rock".
