Nao Kawakita (川北 奈緒 Kawakita Nao, born December 16, 1975), simply known as Nao (ナヲ), is the drummer and backup vocalist of Japanese nu metal band Maximum the Hormone.[1][2]
Career[edit]
Nao is the co-founding member of Maximum the Hormone with Daisuke Tsuda. She recruited her brother Ryo Kawakita to play guitar after Sugi and Key left the band.[3] Her drumming is heavy with the band's sound, while her vocals are light and pop-styled.
Nao had some complications after becoming pregnant in November 2009, leading two Jigokuezu shows and the Soundwave Festival 2010 in Australia to be cancelled.[4][5] The band has said that they "would like to apologize to all the artists and promoters who invited MTH to this show", but that they "would like to give top priority to the health of the mother and the baby".[4] Nao returned to drumming after she gave birth and recovered.
Personal life[edit]
Nao has two children.[6][7][8]
