Kaji Hideki (カジヒデキ) is a Japanese pop-rock singer-songwriter. Kaji got his start working as a studio musician with él Records. He made his musical debut in 1996 with the Shibuya-Kei influenced MUSCAT E.P. under Trattoria Records. He soon returned in 1997 with his first single and followed up with the best selling LP MINI SKIRT.
