Daoko (だをこ; born March 4, 1997) is a Japanese singer and rapper born in Tokyo.[1] Her career began when one of her videos uploaded to Nico Nico Douga in 2012, when she was 15, received attention.[2][3]

Career

[edit]

The name Daoko (ダヲコ) was originally her web nickname.[4]

Her first tour began on 15 January 2016 at Tsutaya O-East, Tokyo, Japan.[5][6] Daoko was nominated for Next Break Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2015.[7][8]

She had caught the attention of multiple Japanese artists such as m-flo, which led to the collaboration of the two artists to produce their single IRONY in 2013. IRONY was used as the theme song of the movie Eagle Talon – Beautiful Elliere Deodorant Plus (鷹の爪~美しきエリエール消臭プラス~).

Daoko released her first album, Hyper Girl, on 5 December 2012 through Low High Who? Production.[9][10] She received a large amount of attention for her vocal work in the music video "ME!ME!ME!" composed by TeddyLoid on 21 November 2014.[11] Daoko left Low High Who? Production after releasing her album Dimension on 4 February 2015 and subsequently shut down her blog.[12] In 2017, she and Kenshi Yonezu performed the song "Uchiage Hanabi", which was used as the theme song to the anime film Fireworks.[13]

In 2018, Daoko attended 69th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen. She performed at Cosplay Mania in the Philippines in 2023.[14]
