She began performing acoustically in 2022.
Since then, she actively performs in live houses,
primarily in the Kansai region.
Rinko advanced to the finals of the “Teenage
White Paper,” held at BIG CAT in 2023. Since then,
she has proactively released music digitally, sharing
short videos, and gaining the attention of discerning listeners on social media.
Her 2024 release, “I Wanna Eat Sweet and Sour Pork at a Chinese Restaurant,” created a massive buzz, starting from "Douyin" (TikTok for Chinese users), particularly among Gen Z listeners, becoming a viral hit with top rankings on TikTok and Spotify music charts. Total views on social media exceeded 100 million (as of August 2025).
Rinko is a next-generation artist who sings about personal perspectives on love using poetic expressions, unbound by genre.
