Kumi Koda

Koda Kumi was the first girl born into her family in a number of generations. She dreamed of becoming a singer ever since she was in elementary school, but had to put off this dream until she turned eighteen and debuted with a single titled Take Back. She became known for her fresh urban style and her signature streaky blond hair, as well as dressing a bit on the revealing side. Her music also gradually found success, and she has been there ever since.
