Sarah Midori Perry, better known by her stage name as Sarah Bonito (/ˈsɛɹə boʊˈniːtoʊ/; born March 4, 1991), is a Japanese-British indie pop artist, visual artist, and DJ. She is the lead singer and lyricist for Kero Kero Bonito (KKB), where she sings and raps in Japanese and English. She has also appeared on a number of songs as a featured artist.

Childhood
Sarah Midori Perry was born to a Japanese mother and a British father on March 4th, 1991 in Nagoya, Japan. She spent the first 13 years of her life in Otaru before moving to the United Kingdom. In her teenage years, Sarah pursued her interest in writing and entered numerous competitions. After finding success in songwriting years later, she indicated that this part of her life had a lasting effect on her work. Before joining Kero Kero Bonito, Sarah’s only ensemble experience came from her high school jazz band where she played saxophone.

Visual Arts
While Sarah is best known for her musical work, she is also a visual artist. Sarah went to Kingston University London where she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts and she sells acrylic prints on canvas along with vinyl stickers on her website.

Music
In 2013, Gus Lobban and Jamie Bulled posted on MixB looking for a lead singer. Sarah Bonito, one of the first respondents, was quickly picked up, and together they formed Kero Kero Bonito. Sarah is now recognized as the colorful, peppy icon of the group, and provides the vocals and keyboard accompaniment. She also writes most of the lyrics for Kero Kero Bonito and does so in both English and Japanese.

Outside of Kero Kero Bonito, Sarah DJ’s by the name DJ Cryalot. She was featured on Eternal Dragonz’s Internet Public Radio in September 2019 with an hour’s worth of content consisting of “songs she has listened to in the most darkest[sic] moments.”
