[[Koda Kumi]] is a Japanese singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan who is best known internationally for singing the Japanese theme songs of ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''. She began with a rather demure image, though with her gain in popularity she began to become a sex symbol. She can be considered something of a Japanese Britney Spears or Rihanna.
Amazingly enough, though she's only been in the mainstream since about 2000, she has released nearly fifty singles and nine studio albums (if you don't count her collaborations, remixes, and [[Greatest Hits]] albums, of which there are ten.)

In addition to her work in the music industry, she's also very influential on Japanese fashion trends. Apparently she's responsible for the [[wikipedia:Ero kawaii|ero-kawaii style]]. Her younger sister Misono (stylized as misono) is also a pop star. You may know her from the band Day After Tomorrow, who did the theme song for ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''.
