Nobuhiko Kitamura was born 1962 in Tokyo, Japan. He began working for Ozone Community Corporation straight after he graduated Tokyo Mode Gakuen in 1984. That same year he started Hysteric Glamour at the age of 21. From the beginning, his collections were inspired by rock music that he was hooked on since his early teen years. He is one of the forerunners to introduce collections that integrated rock and fashion. His love of rock and his talent has brought him close to stars such as Sonic Youth, Primal Scream, Patti Smith, and Courtney Love. His artistic sensibility and attraction to vintage pornography and contemporary art is expressed through Hysteric Glamour t-shirts, which have become a staple of the brand. He also is deeply involved in the photography industry by self-producing and publishing artwork of photographers such as Terry Richardson, Daido Moriyama, and Nobuyoshi Araki.
