Doji Morita (森田童子 Morita Dōji, born January 15, 1952) is a Japanese singer-songwriter.

Background

She was 20 years old when a friend's death inspired her first album. All of her albums keep to tragic or morbid themes. She ended her career as musician in 1983, after giving a final concert in Tokyo. During her career as a musician she was exceptionally secretive, she wore a curly-haired wig and sunglasses in order to hide her face.

In the 1993 TV drama Kou Kou Kyoushi (a.k.a. High School Teacher) as well as in the 2003 TV drama Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003 (a.k.a. High School Teacher 2003), the song Bokutachi no Shippai from the second album Mother Sky was used as theme song. As a result, the greatest hits album Bokutachi No Shippai was released.
