Biography Tomoo was born in Tokyo on June 28, 1995. Her interest in music began at an early age from watching The Lion King and imitating the film's songs, as well as from watching Studio Ghibli films. Her parents bought her a toy piano which she kept playing until she broke it. Not long after, her parents bought her an electronic piano, with which she would play music from the films she watched by ear. When she was in elementary, she started taking piano lessons from a teacher who lived in the same apartment building as her family. In junior high school, she became a member of the drama club, having been inspired by a class performance she was a part of in elementary. It was during this time she decided to pursue a music career after reading a letter given to her by a friend, which inspired her to write a song. She released her first album Two Moon in September 2023. In 2025, she released her first anime song, "Contrast", which was used as the second ending theme to the anime television series Blue Box. She held a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan in May 2025. Her song "Lucky" was used as the ending theme to the anime television series City: The Animation.

Musical style and influences Tomoo cites Joe Hisaishi's music as a major influence in her work, having been inspired by her childhood love for Studio Ghibli's works.
