Artist Profile
hitorigotoWe are HITORIGOTO, a 4-piece guitar rock band hailing from the vibrant port city of Kobe, Japan. For years, we have been a staple of our local music scene, building a deep connection with our audience in the intimate live houses of our hometown.
2026 has been a milestone year for us. After a successful headline show in Kobe this February, we were selected as finalists for "Battle de egg 2026," a prestigious city-sponsored music competition. These achievements have solidified our reputation as the definitive "Band of Kobe."
Now, we are fueled by a new ambition: to take our sound beyond our borders and reach listeners across the globe. Whether in a tiny basement club or on a massive festival stage, we possess the unwavering confidence to captivate any crowd.
