Coltemonikha (stylized as "COLTEMONIKHA" or "COLTEMÖNIKHA") was a Japanese electronica duo consisting of record producer Yasutaka Nakata and model and fashion designer Kate Sakai.^[1]^[2]

The group formed as a project uniting music and fashion. They produced two mini-albums which were made to complement Sakai's fashion line "Made in Colkinikha" and one compilation album. Their name was a portmanteau of "Colkinikha" and "contemode".
