Artist Profile

SHUTOBecause his father was a photographer, he spent his childhood overseas in countries such as Indonesia and Australia. Influenced by his parents, he grew up listening to black music and Western pop from an early age. He started listening to hip-hop in his early teens while living in Australia. Around age 15, his family moved to Okinawa Prefecture. Around that time, he started writing rap lyrics in English. After graduating from high school, he moved to Tokyo. During this period, he was influenced by rappers such as BRON-K, Kouou, and CHOUJI. He aspired to develop a rap style that featured Japanese lyrics over melodies. After his time in Tokyo, he returned to Okinawa in 2019. With CHOUJI's support, he released the single Packback (under the name CHOUJI, Hiiragito feat. MuKuRo) that same year. Since then, he has pursued his creative work energetically, gaining increased attention following the release of the music video for "Suki na Koto" (2021). His appearances in major content, such as Red Bull's video project RASEN and as a featured artist on Chico Carlitos THE FIRST TAKE in 2023, generated significant buzz; both videos surpassed one million views on YouTube. Guest appearance and live performance offers rapidly increased, solidifying his status as one of Okinawa's representative artists. Hiiros style, which expresses his struggles, conflicts, and the resolve he has found through these emotions with an emotionally rich voice, possesses an originality and musicality that transcends the category of rapper alone. This has earned him high acclaim within and outside the hip-hop scene.
