Artist Profile
Kino KatoKino Kato began performing in 2014.
In 2015, they won the Nagoya Grand Prix at the 9th Music Revolution. Their music features a percussive guitar style combined with lyrics that humorously and ironically reflect the absurdities of everyday life and discomfort with society.
They traveled alone to London, the Czech Republic, and Paris, independently promoting their music.
Their solo show in Paris was a full house, and they spent three months busking, developing a truly one-of-a-kind style of expression.
In 2021, they launched their own independent label, ONIKO LABEL.
The name "Kino Kato" comes from a childhood nickname. Due to their bowl-cut hairstyle, they were often called "kinoko" (mushroom) in school.
"Kino" is a remnant of that nickname, paired with their surname at the time, "Kato."
