Tokio Hotel's first band name was Devilish.
They were 'Devilish'.
In an interview, Bill Kaulitz said they all liked big cities--Tokyo, spelt Tokio in German, and they were always on the road, staying in hotels. I can't remember where it was but if you search youtube you'll probably find the interview. It was basically a summary of their journey.
Schäfer is his last name.
David Jost.
THE LEAD SINGER OF TOKIO HOTEL IS BILL KAULITZ.
In an interview the band said that they named themselves Tokio Hotel because they would love to go and perform in Tokyo and spelling it with an i is how it is spelt in German. They chose Hotel because it is an internationally recognised word, nowhere spells it differently. :) ___ Their previous name was Devilish, and because they were performing in Clubs and stuff under that name, they eventually got signed on to a record company. Later they ended up changing their name to Tokio Hotel. They chose the name because they all love the city Tokyo and they stay in hotels a lot.
their first name was Devilish and got it when they saw in newspapers someone was selling devilishly good guitars Actually Tokio Hotel's original name was Black Question Mark. They changed to Devilish because ther was a review about them in a magizine saying that Black Question Mark has a devilish guitar sound.

Their names in order goes Black Question Mark, Devilish, Tokio Hotel.
Their name is German not Japanese. The name Tokio means Tokyo in German and that is a city they like and always wanted to go to. That doesn't make the name Japanese.
Their original band name was Groundswell.
Sorry, my fault, Schrei was their first CD, Zimmer 483 which means "room 483" in German was their second. that's kind of explains how they got their band name. they were first named "Devilish"
