Born in 2002. From a young age, Naoto was a member of a prestigious choir, growing up immersed in the essence of music ranging from classical masterpieces to sacred music. He served as a soloist for a Shakespearean production directed by Yukio Ninagawa and appeared as a child actor in the children's opera The Magic Flute, a project by the Vienna State Opera supervised by Seiji Ozawa. Beginning his journey as a singer-songwriter during high school, he moved to Canada in 2022. After completing the Music and Digital Media program at St. Lawrence College, he returned to Japan to focus fully on composition. In January 2025, he wrote and performed the lyrics for "Monochrome," the ending theme for the international broadcast of the NHK Premium drama TRUE COLORS. Naoto Koto's music quietly evokes memories that everyone holds but few can put into words. His sound is neither ostentatious nor over-explained; yet, once heard, it lingers. At the core of his music lies the tension between a longing for beauty and the resignation of its reach. In 2026, he joined BOLERO and released "Yuuin."
