Kohjiya
Kohjiya (22 years old, born in 2002) is a rapper/songwriter from Nagasaki, currently living in Tokyo. His name comes from his hometown, Kojiyamachi. In 2014, he started rapping with his local classmates SHIÓLA and AURAL, and in 2020, he began his career in earnest. The following year, in 2021, he released a collaboration song with ¥ellow Bucks, which attracted attention, and he gained the trust of artists at the forefront of the scene, such as appearing as a guest on IO (KANDYTOWN)'s album. In 2024, with the determination to "make this year my year," he released three mini-albums under the title "KJ SEASON." KJ SEASON 2 reached number one on the Apple Music HIPHOP chart. In 2025, he also appeared on Music Station with his song "STUTS - 99 Steps feat. Kohjiya, Hana Hope," which was used as a commercial song for POCARI SWEAT. He also won the Rap Star 2024 competition and appeared on FIRST TAKE, which became a hot topic. In addition to music, he is also active as a creator, working on album artwork and music video direction.
