Kavka Shishido, born Yuna Shishido, is a Japanese drummer, vocalist, and model best known for the solo material she has released since 2012. Shishido is renowned for her ability to play the drums and sing simultaneously.
Shishido was born in Mexico in 1985 to Japanese parents. Her family then moved to Japan, where Shishido spent her childhood, except for a brief stint spent living in Argentina in her teens. She became interested in drumming at age 10, attracted by what she perceived as the modesty of the role. She started taking drum lessons when she was 14 and then began performing with her vocals when she was 20.
The name Kavka was given to her by copy editor Junpei Watanabe—he was also was also named Mr. Japan in 2015. Shishido’s habit of wearing all black reminded Watanabe of a crow, so picked the Czech word “kavka,” which refers to the Daurian jackdaw.
In 2004, Shishido joined Japanese all-female band The News and in 2005 she formed Eddy12, a collaboration with The High-Lows' drummer Kenji Ohshim and producer Satoru Hiraide. In 2013, Shishido released her debut album Kavkanize.
