Hiiragi Magnetite ({{langx|ja|柊マグネタイト}}) is a Japanese musician, Vocaloid producer, songwriter and DJ. His artist name allegedly came about because he wanted it to be more corporate.{{cite tweet |number=1458429439742603270 |user=hiiragi_magne |title=「名字+産業に関する名前」で機関らしい名前にしたかったので、この名前にしました... |author=柊マグネタイト |date=10 November 2021 |access-date=16 February 2025}}

He released a music video directed by Channel for the song "Zako" featuring Kaai Yuki in February 2025. The video contains a scene in which Yuki calls out phrases that could be interpreted as suggestive, which was criticized by both Japanese and Western viewers as child abuse against public order and morals.{{Cite web |date=10 February 2025 |title=ボカロP 柊マグネタイト、新曲「ざぁこ」MVを公開停止 扇情的な表現が物議に |url=https://kai-you.net/article/91657 |access-date=16 February 2025 |website=KAI-YOU |language=ja}} Eventually the video was removed and the authors publicly apologized, and it was announced on Twitter that it would be re-released after being corrected. In March of the same year, "Zako" was re-released with Akita Neru acting as a replacement for Yuki.{{cite tweet |number=1888558433219366990 |user=hiiragi_magne |title=この度は新曲「ざぁこ」を見ていただき、また多数のご意見をいただき誠にありがとうございます... |author=柊マグネタイト |date=9 February 2025 |access-date=16 February 2025}}
