Kikuo (きくお) (born September 21st, 1988[1]) is a producer with steady popularity. His songs are known for having dark subjects paired with upbeat music. His use of unique instrumental textures, harmonies, and sound effects, along with a high level of attention to detail, gives his music a singular sound. He is also known for having a very experimental music style, trying many different types of music from all across the world and incorporating unique instruments in his music.

He began music production in 2003, originally posting his songs to forums. He later made Touhou songs in 2009 and was able to gain enough money to drop out of college to pursue music as a career and live on his own. His first VOCALOID music submission was made in 2010.[1] He mainly uses Hatsune Miku in his VOCALOID songs and has made demo songs for Tone Rion, IA, Anri Rune, and Hatsune Miku V3. In more recent works, he has taken to use ACE Studio vocal Qi Xuan. He has started to show a recent interest in a UTAU named Zundamon, as shown in his interview/ QnA at Kumoricon. Kikuo's most popular songs include "Gomenne, Gomenne", "Kimi Wa Dekinai Ko", and "Aishite, Aishite, Aishite". Currently, Kikuo has over 600 songs he wrote from 2003-2024. As of 2024, most of the songs he has made have remained lost media.

He has collabed with many different musicians, artists, and vocalists. Some of the people he's collabed with include Si_ku.k, Hanatan, Redegg, Nagomu Shiriashi, Mizutama, Koko, Miyashita Yuu, Yagani Nagi, and many more.

Other than making music, Kikuo also makes drawings and paintings. His art often depicts violent things such as abuse and torture, similarly to his music. His art is commonly confused with the art of Si_ku.K, who is the artist who makes the art for his Kikuo Miku album covers and some of his music videos, such as the MV for "Tengoku e Ikou". He has painted many murals, and has also done photography, and a bit of poetry in the past.

He was part of a duo known as Ikitama, consisting of him and Si_Ku, that was formed on December, 31st of 2013. She would do the vocals for the songs that he made. Her high pitched and calming voice made a unique style of music, far different than most of what he has made before. Their songs together can be described as quite relaxing, using simple melodies paired with Si_ku's soothing voice.

In 2021, he released the song 'Voices of Svaahaa'. He also collaborated with Vocaloid producer CosMo on the song 'Spider's Thread' for the rhythm game CHUNITHM.

In 2022, he made an appearance in NHK's documentary "究極の歌姫〜バーチャルシンガー・初音ミク〜" (Ultimate Diva: Virtual Singer Hatsune Miku).[1]

Recently, from January 9th to January 27th, 2024, Kikuo toured around the United States and played 12 shows. He became the first Vocaloid producer to complete a tour around the U.S during this time. This was his first time in the U.S, and his first time touring.
