Katsuaki Ikehata

A singer-songwriter from Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. In 2013, she held her debut concert at the Kyushu Kosei Nenkin Kaikan (Soleil Hall) with 2,000 people, and has since expanded her activities from Fukuoka Prefecture to the rest of Japan. Hankyu Ferry’s CM song “Tabi no Hajime” is regularly aired on Asahi Broadcasting Corporation’s Tabi Salad. He has also produced many image songs, including the official theme song “SKY FLOWER” for the Kanmon Kaikyo Fireworks Festival and the image song for the Kitakyushu City Coming-of-Age Ceremony. With a simple style of one guitar and a song, he delivers his thoughts to many people with sympathetic lyrics and a husky voice.
