Kumiko Kōda (神田 來未子, Kōda Kumiko, born November 13, 1982), better known by her stage name Koda Kumi (倖田 來未, Kōda Kumi), is a Japanese singer and songwriter from Kyoto, known for her urban and R&B songs. Having debuted in 2000 with the single "Take Back", Koda gained fame for her seventh single, "Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba", the songs of which were used as themes for the video game Final Fantasy X-2. Her popularity grew with the release of her fourth studio album Secret (2005), her sixteenth single "Butterfly" (2005), and her first greatest hits album Best: First Things (2005), reaching the number-three, number-two and number-one spot respectively.
Though her early releases presented a conservative, quiet image, since as early as 2003 Koda has adopted a sexier and more provocative style. Because of this image, she has become a fashion leader among young women, setting trends such as the ero-kakkoii style. She has also won many fashion awards such as, the "Best Jeanist Award" and the title of "Nail Queen" yearly since 2006. Since the rise in her popularity, Koda has lent her face and songs to many advertisements. In 2006 and 2007, Oricon named Koda as the top selling artist of the year. Jonathan Ross has called her the Christina Aguilera of Japan, while many also compare her career to that of Britney Spears. Koda has sold more than 12,000,000 records in Japan alone, making her the 18th best selling solo Japanese female artist of all-time.
On December 12, 2011, Kumi announced via her website that she is pregnant and engaged to Kenji03 from BACK-ON.
On December 29, 2011, Kumi and Kenji03 married.

Best: Third Universe/Universe
Best: Third Universe is Kumi Koda's fifth greatest hits album, following Best: Bounce & Lovers and Out Works & Collaboration Best. The covers resemble those of Best: Second Session, and Koda can be seen looking through the booklet for that album on the 2CD & 2CD+DVD edition cover. The album contains songs from both single and album releases stretching from "Koi no Tsubomi (恋のつぼみ, Love Bud)" to "Trick". Four of the A-side songs released during that time did not make it onto the best album: "Juicy" from the "4 Hot Wave" single, "Cherry Girl" from "Cherry Girl/Unmei" single, "Unmei (運命, Fate)" from the "Cherry Girl/Unmei" single and "Aishō (愛証, Love Proof)" from the "But/Aishō" single.
Universe is the eighth studio album by Koda, collecting songs from previous singles following her seventh album Trick. Two a-side tracks did not make it onto the studio album "Hashire! (走れ, Run!)" from the "3 Splash" single and "Faraway" from "It's All Love!".
These albums were released in three editions, CD+Ringtone (only containing the greatest hits album Best: Third Universe and a serial number card access to download ringtones of all the songs from her 8th studio album Universe, available only in Japan), 2CD (containing both the greatest hits and the 8th studio album) and 2CD+DVD (containing both albums and a DVD with the music videos for the songs on both albums). The album shifted 222,000 units within its first week, becoming the #1 album on the Oricon weekly charts.
All songs are written, composed and arranged by Koda Kumi
