Template:Nihongo is a Japanese pop rock duo who debuted in 1997.<ref name="AllMusic"/> Its members are Template:Nihongo and Template:Nihongo. Both of the band members come from Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture, and attended Okamura Junior High School.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Their songs Template:Nihongo,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> "Reason",<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Template:Nihongo were used as ending themes of the anime series Hunter × Hunter (2011).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Yuzu started out as street musicians. At first, the band's name was "Light's", but Kitagawa disliked it, so they changed the name to "Yuzu". At that time, Kitagawa was eating a yuzu sherbet, so he named the band after the fruit.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The fans of Yuzu are called "Yuzukko" (ゆずっ子),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and the name of the official Yuzu fan club is "Yuzunowa" (ゆずの輪).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
