Masami Mitsuoka (光岡昌美, Mitsuoka Masami, born August 14, 1986) is a Japanese pop singer. Born and raised in Toyota, Aichi, Mitsuoka debuted in the girl group Sister Q under the stage name MASAMI in 2005.

Mitsuoka's fourth single "Last Cross", the theme song for Katekyō Hitman Reborn!, was released on December 17, 2008, and charted at number thirteen on the Oricon weekly charts.[1] It became her best selling single with a total of 13,470 copies sold. Her first studio album, Black Diary, was released on January 28, 2009. In August 2009, she announced on her official website and blog that she will be changing her stage name, music style, and record label.[2] Mitsuoka thus became known under the stage name Mizca and began releasing electropop music under the label Nippon Crown. Now produced by pal@pop, Mizca released her first digital single "Robotics" was on October 28, 2009. Her first studio album as Mizca, UFUFU, was released on July 21, 2010.
