Piko (ピコ, Piko, born March 11, 1988) is a male Japanese pop singer signed to the Sony Music Entertainment sub-label Ki/oon Music. He became popular on the Internet through the video sharing network Nico Nico Douga. His fans call him "Ryouseirui" (両声類, lit. "both voice types"), a fan-made word to describe his wide vocal range that includes notes typical of both male and female voice types. [1] His kaomoji is "ﾋﾟωﾟｺ".
Biography
Piko began music as the vocalist of a band during his second year of high school, and continued activities in the music department of his college.[2]
In 2007 while browsing the music cover section of popular internet video-sharing site Nico Nico Douga, Piko's mother encouraged him to upload his own covers and he became widely popular on this site. His Nico Nico username and stage name comes from the name of a pet dog he has.
He is good friends with another Ryouseriui on Nico Nico Douga called Sekihan. Piko is said to be a tsundere by many of his fans and Sekihan, who likely started the entire thing in their parody cover of the popular Vocaloid song magnet. About half of his fan base ship him and Sekihan together. When people ship them together, it is supposedly very obvious Piko is the uke and Sekihan is the seme, however Piko has shown to be somewhat authoritative in comparison to the latter.
His kaomoji is also his logo and the design for his hand puppet, a mouse which has been affectionately called "Pikochu".
On July 22nd, 2009, he released his first physical single, "Thanatos" feat. Tissue Hime and later made his major debut with Ki/oon Records at a concert at Shibuya AX on March 27, 2010. Piko's major debut single "Story" was release October 13, 2010. His second major single, "Wasurenagusa", was released in December of 2010 and was used as the Ending theme for the anime Tegami Bachi REVERSE.
Piko's first album, 1PIKO, was released on May 11, 2011, and his second album, 2PIKO, was released on May 30, 2012.
Piko provided the voice library for "Utatane Piko", the first Vocaloid from Sony Music Distribution which uses the Vocaloid2 engine. It was released on December 8, 2010.[3]
