Kuroneko (黒猫?) (born in Osaka, Japan) is the lead singer of the Japanese heavy metal band, Onmyo-Za.

After being part of some local bands, she and Matatabi, who is the leader and the main songwriter, formed Onmyo-za in Osaka in 1999. "Kuroneko" means a black cat and she had used that stagename before Onmyo-Za started. Then the other members of Onmyo-Za took their own stagenames related to cats.

She is influenced by Ann Wilson, Annie Haslam, Kate Bush and similar artists. Her style of singing is compared to that of Mari Hamada too.
