Tokyo Yankees is a Japanese [[Heavy Metal|speed metal, thrash metal]] and hardcore [[Punk Rock]] band. Established in 1988 in Tokyo by vocalist Soichiro "Ume" Umemura, Masanori "Nori" Hashimoto, bassist Ami, and drummer Takashi "U.D.A." Udagawa, who were veterans of other [[Heavy Metal]] and [[Hard Rock]] bands, they were part of the origin of [[Visual Kei]]. Signed to [[Yoshiki Hayashi]]'s Extasy Records label at first, they recorded several albums and established a short but successful career before the first closing of Extasy Records to bands other than [[X Japan]], after which they dropped in popularity and went on hiatus.

Tropes present in the music, lyrics, and stage performance of [[Tokyo Yankees]]:
 
* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]: "Hollywood Heartbreaker" is a straight example, with the [[Atomic F-Bomb]] launched in the lyrics. "Japanese Motherfucker" is a subversion: the title is the only F-bomb of any sort in the song.
* [[Audience Participation Song]]: "Let's Get Crazy" is a straight example. In a combination of the band variety of this + [[Cover Version]], "Ace Of Spades" by [[Motorhead]] at the 1991 Extasy Summit, members from other bands participated - including [[Hideto Matsumoto|hide]] and [[Tomoaki Ishizuka|Pata]] on guitars.
