Biography

[edit]

Kanaria was born on 30 May 2002.[2] On 10 May 2020, twenty days before his eighteenth birthday, he made his career debut with his Hatsune Miku song "Hyakkisai", which Eimika Katsuya characterizes as having "a rhythmic wa melody like a Bon Odori dance" and lyrics as "mysterious, code-like [and a] Japanese-style song that will send shivers down your spine".[3]

Kanaria rose to popularity with his next song "King", released on 10 August 2020.[3] On 9 December 2020, his album King was released.[4] On 7 May 2021, Kanaria appeared on Music Station as "the next big thing".[5] He also wrote, composed, and arranged the song "Domestic De Violence" on Ado's 2022 debut album Kyōgen.[6]

In September 2022, Kanaria released a greatest hits album named "Kanaria.code".[7] In November 2022, he released "Dainōteki-na Rendezvous [ja]", the ending theme for the Chainsaw Man episode "Kill Denji"; it was the first time he sang himself instead of using a Vocaloid bank.[8] In February 2023, his song "Yoidore Shirazu" topped Billboard Japan's Top User Generated Songs chart.[9]

In April 2023, Kanaria released "Requiem", a collaboration song with Hololive VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei.[10] In July 2024, he was the songwriter for "Champion", the last song for Pokémon and Hatsune Miku's Project Voltage collaboration.[11]

On 24 August 2024, Kanaria debuted as a VTuber, saying that there were several cases of people impersonating him, with at least one case of catfishing on the game Apex Legends.[12] He confirmed on his debut stream that he is male.[13]
