Motoki Ohmori

Motoki Ohmori is a Japanese singer-songwriter, guitarist, and actor. He leads the rock band Mrs. Green Apple as its vocalist and primary songwriter, and he has built a parallel solo career since 2021.

Ohmori's voice and compositions anchor the band's stadium-sized sound, which has made them one of Japan's most successful modern rock acts. His solo work explores a more intimate, experimental side, and he has also written songs for major artists like Ado and TXT.

Fans know him for his dynamic stage presence, his candid social media posts, and the playful contradiction of leading a band named after a fruit he is allergic to. [edit]

Ohmori was born in Nishitōkyō, a western suburb of Tokyo, and grew up as the middle of three brothers. He started writing music at age 12, quickly picking up guitar and gravitating toward rock.

In 2012, he landed a small acting role in the drama 13-sai no Hello Work, playing a bassist from the 1990s. The next year, he met guitarist Hiroto Wakai and decided to form a band. He came up with the name Mrs. Green Apple, adding the "Mrs." to make it less plain, and the group began playing around Tokyo.

Before the major-label debut, Ohmori balanced music with odd jobs and honed his songwriting. The band's early indie releases built a local following, setting the stage for their 2015 breakthrough. [edit]

Mrs. Green Apple debuted on EMI Records in July 2015 with the mini-album Variety. Their first full album, Twelve, hit number 10 on the Oricon chart, and the single "Inferno" became a breakout hit as the opening theme for the anime Fire Force.

After a hiatus from 2020 to 2022, the band returned with the album Antenna and continued releasing singles like "Carrying Happiness" and "Summer Shadow." They performed at the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2023 and 2024.

Ohmori launched his solo career in 2021 with the singles "French" and "Midnight." His solo discography includes the EP OITOMA (2026) and the single "MOYOOSHI" (2026). He also wrote and produced songs for Ado, Kis-My-Ft2, and TXT.

In 2025, he took a supporting role in the NHK drama Anpan, playing Ise Takuya across 130 episodes, marking his most significant acting work to date. [edit]

Ohmori is seen as the creative engine of Mrs. Green Apple, known for his elastic vocal range and genre-blurring compositions. His lyrics often tackle the pressures of modern life, but always with a hopeful twist. On social media, he is candid and playful, sharing behind-the-scenes moments and personal quirks. Fans appreciate his authenticity and his willingness to experiment, both with the band and in his solo work. [edit]

Motoki Ohmori commands a significant and growing presence on the global stage, anchoring one of Japan's most dynamic rock acts while carving out a distinct solo identity. Despite his rising international profile through streaming and touring, iFANN has not yet collected sufficient data to assign a specific global or category ranking for August 2026. Consequently, no placement ordinal can be cited at this time, as the system requires verified metrics before generating a standing. This absence of a rank reflects the ongoing nature of data collection rather than a lack of impact; his influence is felt deeply within the J-rock sphere and among fans who follow his songwriting for major artists like Ado and TXT. The audience surrounding Motoki does not operate under a single, formalized name in official records. While the band maintains an active Fan Club that produces limited anniversary books and drives digital engagement, the collective lacks a unified moniker like 'Ohmori's Army.' Instead, supporters are defined by their participation in chart campaigns, live event attendance, and appreciation for his candid social media presence. The community remains highly organized around the band's releases and special events, such as the recent Tokyo Disney Resort collaborations, without a specific viral legend attached to individual fan rituals. As the creative engine behind Mrs. Green Apple, Motoki's work continues to resonate, waiting for the next wave of global consumption signals to crystallize into a definitive statistical position.[edit]

Fans have long found irony in the fact that Motoki Ohmori leads a band named after a fruit he cannot eat; he is allergic to apples, a detail that often surfaces in interviews and adds a layer of playful contradiction to his public persona. On Instagram, he casually revealed his height as 165 cm, noting that insoles can make him appear taller on stage. His personal life includes a beloved pet dog, and he frequently shares glimpses of his hobbies, which range from drawing to playing volleyball. Identified as blood type A, he holds the red member designation within the group. Beyond these established facts, a defining moment in recent lore involves the controversy surrounding the music video for "Columbus." In June 2024, the band was forced to withdraw the visual due to concerns over racial insensitivity, prompting a public apology that shifted the narrative around their success to include navigating complex social sensitivities. Another key chapter in his story emerged with the release of his solo track "Moyoshi" in April 2025, further cementing his reputation as a primary creative force separate from the band. These moments, combined with his collaborative performances like the January 2025 "THE FIRST TAKE" premiere with NiziU, highlight a career marked by both musical innovation and cultural responsibility.[edit]

Ohmori grew up with two brothers: an older brother born in 1982 and a younger brother born in 1989. He has not shared many details about his parents. He currently lives with his pet dog, and his family remains supportive of his music career. [edit]

Ohmori is close friends with Ninomiya Kazunari of Arashi and Nakajima Kento. He has written music for Ado, Kis-My-Ft2, and TXT, and collaborates regularly with his bandmates, especially guitarist Hiroto Wakai. [edit]

Motoki Ohmori has kept his personal life private. As of 2026, there are no confirmed public relationships. He has not been linked romantically to anyone in the media, and his social media focuses on music and daily life. Fans respect his privacy, and he remains focused on his career. [edit]

Per iFANN's editorial analysis, Motoki Ohmori's net worth in 2026 is estimated at $5 Million. This figure reflects his diverse income streams, anchored by his leadership role in Mrs. Green Apple through album sales, streaming numbers, and extensive touring revenue. His financial portfolio is bolstered by solo releases that explore a more intimate sound, alongside substantial songwriting royalties earned from composing tracks for high-profile artists such as Ado and TXT. Additional earnings come from acting roles and strategic brand partnerships that leverage his authentic image. While exact figures remain difficult to pinpoint due to private contracts and variable performance fees, his status as a leading figure in Japanese rock ensures a steady and robust financial foundation.[edit]
