About Kumi Koda

Kumiko Kōda, known professionally as Kumi Koda, is a Japanese singer (known for her urban and R&B songs), actress and producer.

After debuting with the single "Take Back" in December 2000, Koda gained fame in March 2003 when the songs from her seventh single, "Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba", were used as themes for the video game Final Fantasy X-2.

Her popularity grew with the release of her fourth studio album Secret (2005), her sixteenth single "Butterfly" (2005) and her first greatest hits album Best: First Things (2005), reaching the number-three, number-two and number-one spots respectively.

Though her early releases presented a conservative, quiet image, she has become a fashion leader among young women, setting trends such as the ero-kakkoii style.

In 2006 and 2007, Oricon named Koda as the top selling artist of the year.

She is the older sister of singer Misono (Misono Koda).
