==Information==
 
===Early years===
 
[[Image:shibuyakpromo.jpg|thumb|250px|DAOKO promoting "[[Shibuyak / Samishii Kamisama|ShibuyaK / Samishii Kamisama]]" (2015)]]
 
DAOKO first began writing and recording songs with her family's shared iMac in their living room.  She used GarageBand software and the built-in microphone on the computer to record her voice.  She chose various free tracks (for example, [[Vocaloid]] songs) from the internet and tried to remake them in her own style by following the melody and lyrics.  Her whispery vocal style was not intentional at first, it was just something she ended up doing because she didn't want her voice to carry too far from the living room as she sang.  When she got her own personal computer in her room, she used that to record her demos.
 
 
 
===Discovery/Indies activities===
 
In her third year of junior high school, she began to post rap music on Nico Nico Douga, under the name "daoko" with the handle "meme" (it is unknown if the handle connects to the song "ME!ME!ME!" that she was later featured in).  Through that, she met [[Jinmenusagi]], who was on the indies label [[LOW HIGH WHO? PRODUCTION]], and who in turn introduced her to the president of the label.  By the time of her entrance into high school, she had acquired a contract with the label under the name daoko.  However, because the girls' school that she attended forbade their students from entering the entertainment industry. she had to hide her face.  [[Takahashi Taku|☆Taku Takahashi]] of [[m-flo]] liked her music, and [[m-flo]] collaborated with her in the song [[IRONY]], which was then used as the theme song for the 2013 movie ''[[Taka no Tsume ~Utsukushii Elleair Shoushou Plus]]''.  She also caught the eye of film director [[Nakajima Tetsuya]], and in 2014 her song [[Fog]] was used in his film ''[[Kawaki]]''.  Also in 2014, she worked with [[TeddyLoid]] to provide the song ''[[ME!ME!ME!]]'' for [[Studio Color]] and [[Hideaki Anno]]'s video series entry into the [[Japan Animator Expo]], and attracted a great deal of attention worldwide.
 
 
 
===Major-label activities===
 
In 2015, several major label record companies competed over her, but she eventually chose [[TOY'S FACTORY]] to make her major label debut.  Her first single [[Shibuyak / Samishii Kamisama|ShibuyaK / Samishii Kamisama]] was released, and since she had graduated from high school that year, she also revealed her face for the first time.  At the time of her major debut, she also changed her stage name to be DAOKO, all-uppercase.
 
 
 
In 2016, she released her second single, [[Moshimo Bokura ga GAME no Shuyaku de / Daisuki with TeddyLoid / BANG!]].  "Daisuki" was her second collaboration with [[TeddyLoid]].  He later released some remixes of the song on his EP [[Silent Planet Vol. 3]].
 
 
 
In February of 2017, DAOKO provided the insert song for the anime "Ryuu no Haisha" (Dragon Dentist) called [[Kakurenbo (DAOKO song)|Kakurenbo]].  It was released as a digital single via iTunes and other digital services.
 
 
 
In February and March of 2017, DAOKO participated in several collaborations with other artists.  She appeared on [[Omori Seiko]]'s [[kitixxxgaia]] album as a featured artist on the track "Saigo Chikyuu no Futari", and also appeared on [[Ziyoou-vachi]]'s [[Q (Ziyoou-vachi album)|Q]] album as a featured artist on the track "Kinsei".  "Kinsei" was reported to be an answer song to DAOKO's own 2015 track "Suisei".
 
 
 
In April 2017, she sang the theme song and insert song for the animated movie "Uchiage Hanabi, Shita Kara Miru Ka? Yoko Kara Miru ka?".  The insert song, "Forever Friends", was a cover of the 1993 live action movie's theme song of the same name by [[REMEDIOS]]. 
 
 
 
Starting in the July issue of ''Da Vinci'' magazine, she began releasing a "novel series" titled "Seaside Step".  It focuses around a 19-year-old female illustrator named Nagisa, who gains popularity online from posting her illustrations under the name nico.  Of the series, DAOKO said that while she had been writing lyrics and poetry as a rap singer since she was 15, she had always wanted to try writing something longer.  Also in July 2017, it was announced that in addition to her already providing the ending theme for the anime "Shingeki no Bahamut: VIRGIN SOUL" ([[Haikei Goodbye Sayonara]]), she would also be providing the second ending theme, [[Cinderella step]].  On top of that, she was also asked to provide a narration and ending card illustration for episode 12.
 
 
 
In August of 2017, her third single [[Uchiage Hanabi (DAOKO)|Uchiage Hanabi]] was released.  It also contained her cover of "Forever Friends".
