Kikuo (Japanese: きくお) is a Japanese songwriter and Vocaloid producer. As an independent artist, he produces the lyrics and music for each of his songs under his own record label, "Kikuo Sound Works," often with vocals provided by popular Crypton Future Media voicebank, Hatsune Miku. His unique style of high-tempo music production utilizes diverse instruments belonging to the folk music of various world cultures, as well as the childlike sounds of toys and toy pianos, to create colorful and upbeat harmonies, often juxtaposed by very darker lyrics. Additionally, Kikuo is best known for his song, "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me" (愛して愛して愛して, Aishite Aishite Aishite) which surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify in January 2023 and 110 million views on YouTube in July 2025, the first Hatsune Miku song to achieve this feat. Kikuo is also known for his songs "You're a Useless Child" and "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry".
