Masayoshi Kabe

Masayoshi Kabe (加部 正義, Kabe Masayoshi) (5 November 1949  26 September 2020) often known by his stage name Louise Louis, was a Japanese bassist and guitarist from Yokohama, Japan. Numerous online sources present him as half-French and half-Japanese, but it's actually a marketing creation from the producers of the Golden Cups; Kabe was half-American and half-Japanese.[1] He began his career in 1966 as a member of The Golden Cups. He was a studio musician throughout the 1970s and also a member of various bands such as Speed, Glue & Shinki until he permanently joined the supergroup Pink Cloud (a.k.a. Johnny, Louis & Char) in 1978. After they disbanded in 1994 he formed the instrumental side-project ZZK while providing support to other musicians as a bassist.[2] He also recorded four albums as bass player with the band Vodka Collins from 1995 to 1998.[3] He died on 26 September 2020, of multiple organ failure.[4]
