Kobayashi Taro
Born on June 26th, 1990, Taro Kobayashi is a solo artist who quickly built up a devoted following thanks to his aggressive hard rock sound and powerful vocals.  He has performed at a number of major rock festivals, including ROCK IN JAPAN and SUMMER SONIC, and he has also attracted attention both in Japan and overseas for performing theme songs for the popular tokusatsu franchise "Kamen Rider Amazons" and the video game "Granblue Fantasy", as well as serving as the singing voice of Akira, a character from the rhythm game "BlackStar ~Theater Starless~".

Kobayashi released his first album Orkonpood in April 2010, and he made his major debut just two years later with the EP MILESTONE. In 2017, he founded his own independent label MOTHERSMILK RECORD.
