QOTAROO’s Biography
Born in Osaka, Japan in 1977.
Started DJing as a House music DJ when he was a teenager.
Participated “Burning Man”, the most famous freaky art festival in 2003. Then organized many parties as a booking manager of Club Zing, Osaka.
Has been producing artworks for the party flyer, CD & vinyl jacket, advertisement, WEB and apparel brand throughout Japan.
Now based in Osaka, takes part in ‘Original Future Dance Party’ called “POWWOW” and a creator’s mixed media production “Cosmic Lab”.

“QOTAROO is a graphic artist / designer and one of leaders of a party scene in Kansai (West Japan). In past, he organized many parties as a booking manager of Club Zing. Now he holds Powwow at various places in Japan dropping imagination, which comes from parties, into his designs while he circulates dance floors and designs. Like he says ‘When making flyers and jackets, I think I make colors for melodies and shapes for grooves. And it’s a translation from hearing to sight.’ QOTAROO expresses, very naturally and closely, feelings and vibrations DJs put into sounds. ‘I Watch the sound. I hear the light.’ This sense is the true charm of QOTAROO’s designs.”
