| Submission declined on 22 January 2025 by JBW (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by JBW 5 months ago. | |

Biography
[edit]Tohji is a Japanese musician and visual artist known for his contributions to new-wave and experimental hip-hop. He was born in London, England in 1996 and moved to Japan at the age of three, subsequently living in Yokohama and Tokyo.[2]
Tohji is recognized for his distinctive visual style and music that blends elements of internet-age aesthetics with contemporary hip-hop. His public image often features Y2K-era influences, including wraparound sunglasses, loose-fitting tracksuits, and a disheveled hairstyle, reflecting a style reminiscent of early 2010s vaporwave and mallsoft subcultures.[3]
Visual presentation plays a central role in Tohji's artistic identity. In an interview with The Fader, he described himself as "the new Visual Beatles." When asked about this statement in Office Magazine, he elaborated, stating, “I make a whole big swag.”[4]
In August 2019, Tohji made his first guest appearance on the online radio platform NTS Radio.[5] He later returned for additional sets in July 2021 and June 2022.
In February 2021, Tohji collaborated with designer DETTO K to launch the fashion label VANILLANI, which features one-size-fits-all clothing.[6]

On 24 November 2023, he participated in the Natural Mind Residency at Phonox in London, UK.[13] Later that year in December, Tohji took over Japan’s biggest-ever Boiler Room for one night, featuring key players from his u-ha party series.[14]
In April and May 2024, Tohji toured Japan, Europe, and North America, with performances in cities including London, Paris, Los Angeles, and New York.[15] On 18 and 19 May 2024, he headlined Japan’s largest hip-hop festival, POP YOURS, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. The event was sold out.[16]
On 31 July 2024, he released the single medium rare,[17] followed by a remixed version by sim0ne on 15 October.[18] On 11 December, Tohji released a new single from his upcoming album Tenkasu, the next day, a visual made by Vietnam-based collective Antiantiart was released on YouTube, the video was filmed in Vietnam too.[19]
