Figure 45: Kiss, dressed by Larry LeGaspi, 1972<br />

One of the earliest Glam Rock bands to reference Japanese culture in<br />

regard to image was Kiss (Fig. 45). <strong>The</strong>ir theatrical look, created by American<br />

costume designer Larry LeGaspi, combines a science-fiction aesthetic with<br />

total-face traditional kabuki-mask makeup to create characters based on<br />

space-alien and animal/reptilian creatures.<br />
