Hitomi Kuroishi (黒石ひとみ) is a Japanese female singer-songwriter and composer, born in Kanazawa, Ishikawa. She is credited simply as Hitomi for her vocals, not to be confused with J-pop singer hitomi.

Hitomi is noted for her involvement with the soundtrack of the Last Exile anime series, for which she composes as part of the group Dolce Triade (the other members are Maki Fujiwara and Yuki Yamamoto) in addition to performing the ending theme Over The Sky. In 2011, she composed the soundtrack for the sequel, Last Exile. Hitomi has worked alongside composer Kotaro Nakagawa for a number of anime soundtracks, namely Planetes, Gun X Sword, and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, which includes the insert songs Continued Story, Stories, Innocent Days, Alone, Sensibility, Masquerade, and several others.

KIM Studio
Hitomi works at KIM Studio where, before she began working on anime soundtracks, she produced a series of CDs called Village of Beauty (美しの里), including LEGEND OF PEACH VALLEY (2001), The World of Beauty (2002), and Four Seasons (四季) (2008). She continues to compose music for collaborative projects with other artists, such as the photo collection The Breaths of Glacier with photographer Sumio Harada, and the documentary Twilight Zone of the Sea (海のトワイライトゾーン).
