ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is a Japanese rock band formed in 1996. The group consists of Masafumi Gotoh, Kensuke Kita, Takahiro Yamada, and Kiyoshi Ijichi, and their sound is rooted in j-rock, alternative rock, and power pop. They have released music through Tofu Records and remain one of the best-known names associated with anime music among Japanese rock bands.
The band is especially relevant to anime fans through their opening-song work and related releases.
