— Yotsuba's Thoughts
On July 14, 2025, Yotsuba Choco debuted independently with the J-Pop album 'Colorful Sea'. Solely responsible for arrangement, composition, lyrics, performance, vocals, mastering, mixing, distribution, business, social media, visual creation, and editing.
Promoting music traditions and modern culture of the Asia-Pacific region while exchanging with world music culture; Yotsuba hopes to fulfill her country's ideals, contributing to world peace and cultural development.
Stage Name Origins
The latter part "Choco" in Yotsuba Choco is derived from the main character "Cocoa" in the
TV anime 'Is the Order a Rabbit?' (Hoto Kokoa).
Love for hot chocolate reminded Yotsuba of her fondness for chocolate, while "Yotsuba" (four-leaf clover) contains the meaning of a lucky symbol.
The four leaves represent her own androgynous characteristics (generally referring to androgyny / Androgyny) and bipolar disorder traits. In music creation, this androgyny and bipolarity greatly assist Yotsuba.
Also, because it's visually balanced and beautiful, Yotsuba keeps every character in "Yotsuba Choco" without abbreviation.
Multilingual Stage Names
