NINGEN ISU (which translates to "The Human Chair") is a Japanese three-piece hard rock band. In 1987, the band was formed by Shinji Wajima (Guitar & Vocals) and Kenichi Suzuki (Bass & Vocals), who were classmates in the same high school in Aomori Prefecture in the northern area of Japan.

In 1989, they made their first appearance on the popular audition TV show “Heisei Meibutsu TV Ikasu Band Tengoku”. They attracted everybody’s attention for their weird hard rock music and Suzuki’s attire of a popular manga character, “Nezumi Otoko (Rat-man)” from the famous manga “GeGeGe no Kitaro.”

In 1990, they did their major debut with their first album “Ningen Shikkaku (No Longer Human)”.

After some replacement of the drummers, Nobu Nakajima（Drum & Vocals） joined the band in 2004 and then NINGEN ISU has kept going with the current 3 members.
