Naoya Mori

Artist

Naoya Mori is a singer-songwriter and illustrator from Oita Prefecture. He made his major-label debut with Edison and became more widely known through Yuuzora no Kamihikouki, the ending theme of the boxing anime Hajime no Ippo. He also performed 360°, used as another ending in the same series, and wrote and composed both songs himself. His soft acoustic sound and unaffected voice quietly close out each episode after the heat of the in-show matches, leaving a strong impression through that contrast. He also works as an illustrator and multimedia creator.
