  Rio Hosokawa is a Japanese singer-songwriter from Innoshima, Onomichi City, Hiroshima, Japan. She graduated from ESP Music School. At the age of 20, she traveled to New York to study singing and performed live while immersing herself in the city music scene. After returning to Japan, she appeared on the TBS music program Sing!

Encouraged by advice from music producer Akimitsu Honma, who served as a judge on the show, she began her career as a singer-songwriter and later appeared in the program second season.

Her fifth single Haru tte Kawaii surpassed 350,000 plays on TikTok. Her single Tokyo Gyoza-Rou, released on February 25, 2026, was selected for the Spotify playlist Top Picks: Country & Folk (TPA x TuneCore). Her artistic concept is simple: to keep sharing the belief that the world is beautiful.
