Coltemonikha (コルテモニカ; Korutemonika), stylised as "COLTEMONIKHA" or "COLTEMÖNIKHA", is a Japanese electronica duo consisting of model and fashion designer Kate Sakai and record producer Yasutaka Nakata.[1][2]
The group was formed as a project that combined music and fashion. The duo have produced two mini-albums to date, which were made to complement Sakai's fashion line "Made in Colkinikha". The name is a portmanteau of the brands "Colkinikha" and "Contemode".
