  Sixh. Biography
  Japanese designer Naoto Hirooka1s gothic and lolita fashion line h. NAOTO
  has accumulated positive reviews and praise from both Japanese and Western
  markets. After receiving positive stimulation from collaborations with
  charismatic visual-kei artists, h.NAOTO starts the 3h.ism2 project in the
  mid 2000s based on the theme of fashion and music co-existing in one entity.

  In 2007, the success of h.ism leads to collaboration with the young fashion
  design duo IBI and MINT. 3Sixh.2 is born.

  Started by IBI, the fashion line Sixh. unites visual-kei artistry with the
  imagery of popular host and hostess clubs. A new theme, ghost-kei, is
  created by combining the words 3gothic2 and 3host2 into 3ghost2. MINT
  launches the line with the New Japan Mode Collection featuring its relaxed
  character, 3MINT Neko2, and Six.h flourishes from there. Without a doubt,
  Sixh.1s cool, carefree ideas are not restricted by ordinary rules of fashion
  or society.

  Also in 2007, Sixh. expands from a fashion brand into a band with the same
  name. IBI sings vocals with MINT on the bass, joined by guitarist NARI .
  Sixh.1s unique musical presentation crosses the Western standard of 3rock2
  with the fashions of ghost-kei.

  In 2010, Sixh.1s ladies1 collection 3MelT2 joins the line-up with designer
  MIKA in the lead. It mixes sexiness with a touch of devilish cuteness by
  using gorgeous butterflies and roses as the main motifs. IBI1s Ageha-kei
  fashion line is also in the works.

  h. NAOTO1s fashion line and band Sixh. is constantly adapting and merging
  with ever-evolving Japanese counterculture. At heart, Sixh. is the sixth
  sense beyond the five senses!
