DJ OZMA (ディージェイオズマ, Diijei Ozuma^?) is a Japanese pop singer, widely rumored to be the alter ego of Kishidan singer Shou Ayanokoji. He first came to prominence in early 2006 and is notorious for his performance at the 57th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, during which his female dancers stripped themselves of their outer clothing on stage to reveal unitards painted to resemble the nude female body while wearing a patch resembling a mushroom which covered the genitals. The station had to later clarify, in light of complaints, that the dancers were clothed, despite their appearance.

DJ OZMA's songs are generally cover versions by other groups including many South Korean artists, such as Koyote and DJ Doc, though the original versions also include Kishidan work.
