Kiriko Takemura was born on January 29, 1993, in Nishitōkyō, Tokyo, Japan. Throughout most of her childhood, she was raised in a traditional strict household, where her parents frequently set early curfews and limited her cell phone access. Kyary's mother was very critical of her fashion sense to the point where she would have to leave the house dressed normally and change into Harajuku-style clothing inside a public restroom. Kyary often returned home and found that her mother had disposed of her fashion accessories, which led to further quarrels. She writes in her autobiography, Oh! My God!! Harajuku Girl, that her father was more supportive of her, although they had their fair share of quarrels as well. She took dance lessons. Around the age of 12, she appeared in a video series called Seijun Imouto Club (清純いもうと倶楽部, lit. "Innocent Sister Club"), and in another titled Kasumi, in which she was filmed posing while wearing a school-issued bathing suit among other things.
