Ado Mizumori (水森亜土, Mizumori Ado, born in Tokyo, Tokyo prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese illustrator, actress, jazz singer, and writer.
Known commonly as Ado-chan, she has been a popular comedian for years, but many recall her more as a creator of nostalgic illustrations of girls, boys, dogs, cats and other motifs, which were much loved in the 1970s, and are still a big inspiration to the kawaii movement in Japan. Her mother was a painter of modern art, and Ado would often draw as a child when her mother’s artist friends came to visit.
In the 70s and 80s, she hosted an educational TV show aired by the NHK, たのしい教室 (Tanoshii Kyoushitsu), in which she would paint or draw pictures on a transparent plastic board while she was singing songs.
She’s currently over 70 years-old, but continues painting kawaii illustrations.
In Western countries, she’s best known for providing vocals to the song 真っ赤なバラとジントニック (Makkana Bara to Gin Tonic) on the 塊魂 (Katamari Damacy) soundtrack.
