Kitsune² is the primary musical alias of British electronic music producer David John Lewis, renowned for his high-energy fusion of breakcore, chiptune, and various electronic genres, often incorporating Japanese cultural themes.Emerging from the online music scene in the late 2000s, Kitsune² gained significant popularity through platforms like Bandcamp and YouTube. His music is characterized by extremely fast tempos, complex breakbeats, heavy basslines, and melodic elements often derived from video game soundtracks or synthesized chiptune sounds. While primarily instrumental, his work frequently features vocal samples, particularly anime or game-related snippets. He maintained a prolific output, releasing numerous EPs, singles, and albums, becoming a prominent figure in the breakcore and chiptune communities. His activity significantly decreased after 2016 due to serious health issues.

• Kitsune² was known for his incredible speed and intensity in production, often releasing new tracks very frequently during his peak years.
• He cultivated a distinct visual identity heavily featuring Japanese motifs, particularly the kitsune (fox spirit) referenced in his alias, aligning with the otaku culture aesthetic often present in his music.
• In late 2016, Kitsune² announced he was entering the hospital for treatment related to an unspecified serious illness. Updates were scarce afterward.
• His Bandcamp page later featured a statement (circa 2017) mentioning a long-term condition requiring ongoing care, drastically reducing his ability to create music. The exact nature of the illness has not been publicly disclosed in detail.
• Despite his absence from active music production since his health decline, Kitsune² retains a dedicated fanbase, and his extensive back catalog continues to be popular within the electronic music niche.
• The '²' (squared) in his name is a deliberate stylistic choice integral to his branding.
