おニャン子クラブ

Onyanko Club (おニャン子クラブ, Onyanko Kurabu, "Kitty Club") was a large all-girl Japanese pop idol group in the 1980s. Some members of the group participated in several subgroups such as Nyangilas, Ushirogami Hikaretai, and Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi, with the latter two groups providing most of the soundtrack to the popular 80s anime series High School! Kimengumi. The group debuted on April 1, 1985 on their own Fuji TV variety show Yūyake Nyan Nyan with eleven high school girls selected from participants in the Fuji TV All Night High School Girl Special (オールナイトフジ女子高生スペシャル, Ōru Naito Joshi Kōsei Supesharu) aired in February that same year. The group disbanded on September 9, 1987, with a final concert. There have been several reunion appearances, including one on a recent episode of Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ. Several big-name idols stemmed from the group, one of the best known being Shizuka Kudō.
