i9bonsai (born on January 27) is a hyperpop/digicore artist from Tokyo, Japan, considered by many a founding father of the sound. Their high-pitched vocals and airy mixing add to their hyperpop/digicore aesthetic. They were primarily inspired by nightcore when they first started making music, so they started making music that fits that style. Their song “funne monkee gif”, released in December 2019, gave them mainstream attention from the meme community, as this song is still their most popular and most played song as of now.
