Editor's note

Yoko Hikasa, the voice behind Attack on Titan

A Japanese vocalist known for anime themes and a resilient solo career.

For a quick sense of her, try 'Utsukushiki Zankoku Na Sekai', that's the Titan opener, and maybe 'Singing!' for something lighter.

Her 2011 solo debut 'Utsukushiki Zankoku Na Sekai' opened Attack on Titan, instantly connecting her to a global audience. Songs like 'Dance In The Fake' and 'Singing!' kept her in the anime music conversation, even after vocal surgery in 2014. She's worked with composers like Yuki Kajiura, which says something about her range.

She started in the band Raison d'Être in 2007 before going solo four years later. The shift from group work to solo anime themes like 'Utsukushiki Zankoku Na Sekai' defined her next phase. She kept recording after her 2014 vocal cord surgery, with tracks like 'Pilgrim' and 'Our Magic' following.

Archive material and source history

Yoko Hikasa is a Japanese vocalist who began her professional career in 2007 as part of the band Raison d'Être. She went solo in 2011 with 'Utsukushiki Zankoku Na Sekai,' which served as the opening theme for the anime series Attack on Titan. That song, along with others like 'Dance In The Fake' and 'Tsubasa Wo Kudasai,' helped establish her presence in anime music.

Her work includes collaborations with musicians such as Yuki Kajiura and Revo. In 2014, she underwent surgery for vocal cord nodules but returned to performing afterward. Some of her other songs include 'Pilgrim,' 'Singing!,' and 'Girls In Wonderland.'

Hikasa was born in Tokyo on December 15, 1985. She has cited Celine Dion and Mariah Carey as early influences on her vocal style.
