Kavka Shishido, the stage name of Yuna Shishido (宍戸佑名), is a Japanese drummer, vocalist, and performer born on June 23, 1985, in Mexico. She first gained attention as a member of the rock band The News before launching a solo career in 2012, and her work has been associated with Imperial Records and her official site, shishido-kavka.com.
As a solo artist, Shishido built a distinctive identity around live drumming and singing at the same time, making the drums the center of her performance rather than a backing element. That approach shaped her place in the Japanese rock scene, where her shows emphasize rhythm, precision, and strong visual impact. The combination of vocals and percussion gave her a recognizable live image and helped establish her as one of the more visually distinctive Japanese female rock performers. In recent years, she has also expanded into acting, appearing in television dramas such as "Panda yori Koi ga Nigate na Watashitachi" and "Ginga no Ippyo", adding another dimension to a career defined by performance.
