J.S. Dr.
1997年生 射手座 ブルベ夏
10歳の時、ドラムが趣味の父を真似てノリノリで膝を叩いていたところ、それを見て不憫に思った母によってドラム教室へと連れて行かれる。
以降長きにわたってドラムを趣味とするも、コミュ力の無さが祟ってバンドを組むことなく青年期を過ごす。
大学では念願の軽音サークルに入るも、「ドラム歴8年、バンド歴0年」という奇妙な経歴のため、ちょっと浮く。
大学卒業後、同サークルで出会ったマチャに誘われ「シヴァネコ」を結成。
お腹が弱い。

林 Gt.
2000年生 山羊座か水瓶座(諸説あり) AB型
幼稚園の頃、指が逆に曲がる友達に憧れて毎日曲げ続けた結果、ちゃんと曲がるようになった。
10歳でBUMP OF CHICKENに衝撃を受け、ベースを手に取る。「7日間でできる〜」教本を満了し天体観測を弾いてみるも、知らないフレーズばかりで「思ってたのと違う」と挫折。
小学生のうちに指を2本骨折(うち1本はキャッチボールでキャッチに成功した際)。ギプスを勝手に外したせいで曲がったまま定着する。
12歳でギターに転向し、ダンデライオンを弾いてみると「知ってるフレーズばかりだ…!!」と感動、そのままのめり込む。
色々と曲がった指がギタープレイの個性になっているのではと思い込み、運命を感じる。
14歳でフジファブリックに出会い、いつか絶対バンドを組むと息巻く。
その後大学でマチャに誘われシヴァネコに加入。
カラオケは1曲目の1番で喉が枯れる。

Macha Vo.Gt.
Born in 1998. Gemini. Blood type A.
Started playing piano as a child. In junior high, he discovered YUI and ELLEGARDEN at around the same time, which hit him like a lightning bolt and made him decide to become a musician. Santa Claus apparently caught on and gave him a guitar.
He confidently joined the school music club, only to spend all three years without managing to form a single band, thanks to his naturally questionable social skills.
In college, he began performing solo with an acoustic guitar and writing songs, eventually gathering the supporting musicians he considered the absolute best for his recordings. They would later become Siva Cats.
He has had a lot of different jobs.
Bank employee, potato farmer, security guard, bartender, private tutor, vocal coach, vintage clothing store clerk, English teacher, IT company employee, etc...

J.S. Dr.
Born in 1997. Sagittarius. Cool Summer color type.
At age 10, he started enthusiastically drumming on his knees while imitating his father, who played drums as a hobby. His mother apparently found the sight so pitiful that she took him to drum lessons.
He continued playing drums as a hobby for many years, but thanks to a severe lack of social skills, somehow made it through adolescence without ever joining a band.
In college, he finally joined a music club, only to stand out slightly due to the rather unusual résumé of "8 years of drumming, 0 years of band experience."
After graduating, Macha, whom he had met through the same club, invited him to form Siva Cats.
He has a sensitive stomach.

Ryosuke Masuda Ba.
Born in 1998. Pisces. Blood type B.
Everyone in his family has blood type B, making him a true thoroughbred Type B.
He started playing bass in junior high after a friend gave him one.
He is the only member of Siva Cats who actually managed to form a band back in high school.
After graduating, he spent his time playing in various bands and supporting singers before eventually meeting Macha and forming Siva Cats.
He currently lives in California, USA, and studies Konnakkol, the vocal percussion tradition of South Indian classical music, under Swaminathan Selvaganesh.
His goal is to keep bouncing back and forth between the United States and India, with Japan serving as the center line.

Hayashi Gt.
Born in 2000. Either Capricorn or Aquarius, depending on whom you ask. Blood type AB.
Back in kindergarten, he admired a friend whose fingers could bend backward, so he kept bending his own every day until they eventually learned to do the same.
At age 10, he was blown away by BUMP OF CHICKEN and picked up the bass. After finishing a "Learn Bass in 7 Days" book, he tried playing "Tentai Kansoku," only to find that nearly every phrase sounded unfamiliar. Thinking, "This isn't what I expected," he gave up.
Before finishing elementary school, he broke two fingers, including one while successfully catching a ball during a game of catch. He removed the cast on his own, and the finger ended up permanently bent.
At age 12, he switched to guitar and tried playing "Dandelion." This time, he was amazed to discover, "These are all the phrases I know...!!" and immediately got hooked.
Convincing himself that his oddly bent fingers might actually be part of what makes his guitar playing unique, he decided it must have been fate.
At 14, he discovered Fujifabric and became determined to form a band someday.
Years later, Macha invited him to join Siva Cats while they were in college.
At karaoke, his voice is usually gone before he even finishes the first verse of the first song.
