Wowaka began his career in 2009 with the single "In the Gray Zone". His breakthrough year came in 2011, in which he co-founded the record label Balloom, formed the band Hitorie, and released his debut Vocaloid album ''Unhappy Refrain''. The record peaked at number six on the Oricon Charts and remained on the charts for thirteen weeks. It also received international acclaim and a cult following in the genre.
For the rest of his lifetime, Wowaka continued performing with Hitorie as a lead vocalist and guitarist.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ボーカロイド"現実逃避P"からバンド活動へ 「ヒトリエ」wowakaの辿ってきた道 |url=https://www.crank-in.net/interview/38049 |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=クランクイン！- エンタメの「今」がわかる 映画＆エンタメニュースサイト |language=ja}}</ref> On 5 April 2019, he died due to heart failure.<ref name=":0" />

== Career == Wowaka's first contact with Vocaloid music was in December 2008, when he listened to Livetune's song "Last Night, Good Night". Taking a liking to the song, he was shocked to learn that this song was the work of one man. He then quit his band, and began creating Vocaloid music using Hatsune Miku in April 2009.<ref name="Gekkayo">{{Cite journal|date=July 2011|title=ボカロPインタビュー|journal=Gekkayo|publisher=ゲッカヨ|issue=426|pages=26|language=ja}}</ref><ref name="ascii">{{Cite news|url=http://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/497/497898/|title=バンドとニコ動、2つの顔を持つ「裏表ラバーズ」作者の素性|date=2010-02-13|newspaper=ascii.jp|access-date=2011-05-27|publisher=ASCII Media Works|language=ja}}</ref> Wowaka began his musical career in May 2009, by uploading his original Vocaloid music titled {{nihongo|"In the Gray Zone"|グレーゾーンにて。}} to the Japanese video-sharing website Niconico Douga. In the video of "In the Gray Zone", trying to convey the image of the song without using illustrations of Vocaloid characters, Wowaka used his own drawing instead, and, for consistency, he kept this style in all his later Vocaloid works.<ref name="Vocalo kami-P" />
Wowaka's songs published on Niconico are characterised by obscure lyrics depicting thoughts of young women in fast-paced melodies.<ref name="Gekkayo" /> He has said that although he initially wanted to make music that can only be made using Vocaloid, he later realized the advantages of Vocaloid music.<ref>{{Cite book|year=2011|title= VOCALOIDをたのしもう6|pages=40|publisher=Yamaha Music Media|isbn=978-4-636-86584-4|language=ja}}</ref> He became known under the name "Genjitsutouhi-P" after writing the phrase "Escaping from reality, how nice!" ({{Langx|ja|現実逃避って、いいよね！|Genjitsutouhi tte, ii yo ne!}}) in several descriptions of his music.<ref name="Vocalo kami-P" /> His works gained particularly large popularity on Niconico Douga.

Aiden Strawhun wrote on ''Kotaku'' that "For those who've been part of the Vocaloid community since Hatsune Miku's early days, Wowaka's name carries more than just the weight of nostalgia. It carries a teenage-angsty resonance thanks to songs such as the turbulent, cacophonic "Rolling Girl." [...] Where there is Hatsune Miku, there is Wowaka. [...] With his passing, we've not only lost a huge, immensely influential part of the community but a monumental part of our history. His work, though, will live on. Wowaka did more than create music for a generation. He created magic."<ref name="kotaku_2019-04-09" />
After a brief hiatus, Hitorie continued in September so as to not diminish wowaka's legacy.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ヒトリエからのお知らせ |url=https://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/hitorie/info/505751 |access-date=2019-04-08 |website=www.sonymusic.co.jp |language=ja}}</ref> Band member Shinoda succeeded wowaka as the vocalist.
