Based in Osaka, O-MAN freely crosses genres such as Techno, Hard Techno, and Psy-trance, delivering high-velocity, high-impact sets that combine raw power with strong storytelling and entertainment value. His dynamic, narrative-driven approach has ignited dancefloors both in Japan and internationally.
He began his career in the early 2000s and has performed at major festivals including SUMMER SONIC, UMF Korea, and Nagisa Music Festival, sharing stages with global artists such as Martin Garrix, Astrix, Vini Vici, and Calvin Harris. From 2006 to 2014, he was consecutively ranked in Japan’s leading music magazine LOUD, establishing a solid reputation within the Japanese club scene.

He also explores beyond club boundaries through the live band PRISM MIND with actor Issei Ishida, pushing experimental and cross-disciplinary performance formats.
In recent years, he has deepened his connection with the techno scene, appearing on Berlin’s renowned streaming platform HÖR Berlin. His HÖR OSAKA performance surpassed 63,000 views within one month, an exceptional achievement for a Japan-based local DJ.
