Aska, (born on February 24, 1958, Ono, now part of Onojō, Fukuoka) is a Japanese singer-songwriter.
Aska is best known for work as part of the music duo Chage and Aska. As a composer, he wrote most of the principal hit songs for the duo, such as "Morning Moon", "Love Song", "Say Yes", and "Meguriai". Over half of their released singles were written by him.

He began a solo career in 1987, and was highly successful in the first half of the 1990s. His most well-known song as a solo singer is "Hajimari wa Itsumo Ame" (The Start Is Always Rain), which was a single from his second solo album. The song reached #2 on oricon and sold over 1,160,000 copies. Success of this song lead him to widespread popularity across East Asia.〔http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2014/05/19/aska-drug-use-answers-to-some-questions/〕〔http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/20140518_12.html〕 He was arrested on 17 May 2014 for possession of the illegal stimulant MDMA.

==The origin of his name==
Initially, it was thought that his name has come from the Ryo Asuka character of the ''Devilman'' manga series by Go Nagai. Aska later denied this. Aska was derived from "Asuka", the name of a female radio DJ in Fukuoka who was the object of his unrequited love during college. When he thought about his stage name, he used Aska in order to combat the DJ. At first, the English notation of his name was Ryo Asuka, but this was mispronounced so Asuka was changed to Aska. He was later known for the duo Chage and Aska.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date=10 June 2014 )〕
