Otoboke Beaver (おとぼけビ~バ~) is a punk rock band from Kyoto, Japan. The band comprises singer Accorinrin, guitarist Yoyoyoshie, bassist Hirochan, and drummer Kahokiss. The band is named after a love hotel in Osaka near the high school of one of the band members. Musically, the band play a very fast-paced and aggressive style of punk rock, with frequent changes in rhythm and tempo, accompanied by gang vocals. Their songs feature love and relationships as regular themes, often based on singer Accorinrin's own experiences. The band formed in 2009 while the members were involved in a music club at their university. The original members were Accorinrin (guitar, vocals), Yoyoyoshie (guitar), Pop (drums), and Nishikawachi (bass). In June 2011, Otoboke Beaver released a demo CD featuring three songs, including an early version of "Chuchu Song," a live favorite that would be later re-recorded and distributed to supporters who helped fund the band's first trip to the United States. A mini-album followed in December of the same year. The cover art for both releases were designed by Yukari Matsuoka, and feature a distinctive cartoon of a nude woman with a rabbit's head. In 2012 the group released their first live album through Egypt Records. In 2013 they released a limited-edition single through Jet Set Records, featuring the newly recorded "Otobokebeaver Daijikenbo" and two live tracks. In March of the same year, the band released the mini-album, Love Me Sign. Bassist Nishikawachi left
