Moog Yamamoto (born Kazuo Yamamoto or ムーグ山本; October 16, year unknown) is a Japanese DJ and visual artist from Tokyo, Japan. Moog (also known as "Mooog" with an extra O) is most frequent in his band Buffalo Daughter, however he is also prolific in the creation of visual artwork for Fishmans, most notably multiple front cover artworks for the band. He is also known to have remixed songs with them, as well as performing at times with the group.
Moog first started in the music industry with band Buffalo Daughter as a turntablist and DJ, serving as a primary member of the group. He's also been known to participate in various Cornelius and Pizzacato Five projects. Moog first participated with Fishmans in 1994 with the art direction & cover artwork of Melody. Alongside his wife Mariko Yamamoto, Moog formed art duo Phonic, most or all of Fishmans' late 90s artwork being directed by the duo. Modern artwork for the band is less often directed by Moog or Phonic, typically instead being given to an independent artist. Moog would also seldom perform live with Fishmans, such as at a DJ event on April 22, 1995 @Shinjuku Liquid Room where he performed alongside the group. Reportedly, Yuzuru Kashiwabara was particularly impressed by his performance at the event. The CD Extra Dictionary describes Moog as having "long legs, hands, and a long face (he looks like Todd Rundgren with an injection of Keiichi Sokabe of Sunny Day Service)". His talent in turntablism was also used on the Fishmans track Season.
