Artist Profile

• Kyoten

  Kyoten is a rapper and producer from Miyamae Ward, Kawasaki, Japan. Also producing under the name Dochibeatz, he builds his sound around the language and flow of hip-hop while drawing from breakbeats, bass music, alternative music, and other genres to create music that moves beyond conventional boundaries. He began performing primarily in Shibuya, Tokyo, and went on to host his own event, Obbessed, at Ebisu BATICA. He later spent approximately a year and a half in Toronto, Canada, where he collaborated with Canadian Gold-certified producer Bluxz and performed at Bluxz's event, Bluxz Bizarre Adventure, gaining firsthand experience in the local music scene. After returning to Japan, he resumed his activities in Tokyo, particularly around Shibuya, and held Obbessed vol.2 at BATICA. In May 2024, he released his independently produced album Me, myself & I. Alongside his own music, Kyoten currently runs Ravender, an event and community connecting Tokyo's underground culture. Bringing together hip-hop, bass music, DJs, live performances, visual art, and artists and listeners from different backgrounds, Ravender creates a space where different scenes and cultures can intersect. In 2026, Kyoten launched a new body of work, beginning with the release of Broken friends in August. Drawing from his experiences in music scenes both in Japan and abroad, as well as the culture continuously emerging from Tokyo, Kyoten creates music rooted in the values of hip-hop while refusing to be confined by the genre itself.
