Has “6th member” Takumi ever played live with the band (even offstage), or are his parts always playback?
If he has performed live, is this documented anywhere?
He usually tweets after every final gig of DEG tour. So, I assume he does perform with the boys, but only offstage.
Like here, for example.

This tweet shows it even better.

He’s also usually credited on live releases, like here on the final days of studio coast:

Does anyone know since when is takumi Diru‘s keyboardist and manipulator? Was he with the band before sukekiyo?

I’d wager its been since 2010-ish, when Rentrer en Soi disbanded. @seelentau can you confirm that?

Has been a LONG time, that much is for sure. Am curious to know exactly when as well and that leads me to wonder if they had anyone specific doing it before him or if they just had whoever was sound teching or whatever do it.
His first credit is on Hageshisa~ as programming

I think you would!
I thought you would too to be fair. Haha.
There is apparently some DeG movie/documentary on the way, and here is how it looked when they promoted it:
And am I the only one or is Kyo cringe as hell? He probably thinks he is so edgy and cool, but for me just ends up feeling so extremely cringe, mr cringelord.
After hiding and showing the “fingers”, sitting on the floor when everyone is supposed to stand etc.. oh you are so edgy Kyo!

He is trolling 
I guess it depends if you find it edgy or cringe. Probably a bit of both. Poor Shinya, tho.
