Mariko Gotō (後藤 まりこ) is a Japanese singer, lyricist, composer, and actress born February 22, 1982, in Izumiōtsu, Osaka. Her early music career was shaped by the punk group Judy and Mary, a major influence on the project her first band was labeled "Osaka's Twisted Judy and Mary". In 2001, she co-founded Usagi, a noise rock and punk outfit, where she sang and played guitar. After Usagi disbanded in 2003, Gotō formed Midori, a punk jazz group with bassist Yoshifumi Kuwano; the band released three full-length albums, five EPs, and a single before dissolving. She then pursued solo music and acting work across stage, film, and television drama. In 2013, she wrote lyrics for and performed the opening song "宇宙人" for the anime Flowers of Evil, and her track "Sound of Me" became the ending theme for the drama Taberudake, in which she led.
