O-MAN (JP)

O-MAN is a DJ, producer, and sound director based in Osaka, Japan.
With a unique focus on the entertainment aspect of club music, he crafts genre-fluid sets that
blend elements of psytrance, techno, and house—building heavy, emotionally charged grooves
that captivate audiences both in Japan and internationally.
Since the early 2000s, he has performed at major festivals and venues including SUMMER
SONIC, Nagisa Music Festival, and UMF Korea, while sharing stages with global icons such
as Martin Garrix, Astrix, Vini Vici, and Calvin Harris. From 2006 to 2014, he was consistently
ranked in Japan’s leading music magazine LOUD’s Top DJ lists, cementing his place in the
country’s electronic music scene.
As the producer of the legendary Japanese dance-music project ALKALOID, O-MAN helped
pioneer the trance-dancer movement in Japan. He also performs as a live act with actor Issei
Ishida in their band project PRISM MIND.
While rooted in the underground club scene, O-MAN continues to expand his artistic reach
through music production for fashion shows, visual media, and cross-genre collaborations.
His recent appearance on HÖR OSAKA marks a new phase in his global output—alongside
launching a DJ academy and curating new event formats aimed at shaping the future of Japan’s
nightlife culture.
