PinocchioP (ピノキオピー) is a music producer, illustrator, and character designer. He works for P._nc (pronounced pink) and is signed to the U/M/A/A (pronounced yuma) label. His producer name comes from his debut song "Hanauta," which means "humming" but can be literally translated as "nose song." The thumbnail for "Hanauta" is an image of Hatsune Miku with an extremely long nose, which earned him the name PinocchioP, thus earning his producer name.

Pinocchio and Hatsune Miku

PinocchioP began sharing Vocaloid music online in 2009 and made his major debut in 2012 with his debut album "Obscure Questions." Having always been interested in electronic sounds and music about human nature, he was initially shocked when he heard Agoaniki's song "Double Lariat," whose Vocaloid vocals contrasted with a group sound and very human-like lyrics. PinocchioP makes Vocaloid music in a wide variety of styles, ranging from dance music and Shibuya-kei to rock.

PinocchioP has regularly released new Vocaloid songs throughout his musical career and has participated in numerous collaborations and live events, including events where he sings his own songs alongside Hatsune Miku. In 2016, he also designed a character for the Toyota Prius anthropomorphization campaign, PRIUS! IMPOSSIBLE GIRLS.

One of his greatest accomplishments was producing the music for THE END , an opera with Hatsune Miku as the main character and no humans or orchestra. The music used in the opera was darker and suited the central idea that Hatsune Miku, an android, wanted to know if she could really die.
