{{nihongo|'''Kumi Koda'''|倖田來未|''Kōda Kumi''}}, (born {{nihongo|'''Kumiko Koda'''|神田來未子|Kōda Kumiko}} [[November 13]], [[1982]] in [[Kyoto]], [[Japan]]), is a Japanese solo [[R&B]] and [[pop music|pop]] female singer and also the older sister of J-pop star [[Misono|misono]], of the former [[J-pop|J-Pop]] band [[Day after tomorrow (band)|day after tomorrow]]. Although Kumi Koda debuted in 2000 with her debut single "Take Back," massive success didn't come until 2003 with the release of her seventh single, titled "[[real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba]]," which became a hit mainly because the songs of the single were theme songs of popular [[PlayStation 2]] videogame [[Final Fantasy X-2]] and since then, Koda's career has taken off.

In 2005, she was one of the best-selling artists because of her compilation of singles album titled "BestBEST ~Firstfirst Thingsthings~," and in 2006, she reached the top of the [[Oricon]] singles charts with the first single of the "~12 Single~ Collection," the single titled "[[You (Kumi Koda song)|you]]."
