BABYMETAL is a Japanese Kawaii Metal band, fusing Idol J-Pop with Metal, produced by KOBAMETAL.

BABYMETAL first appeared on Sakura Gakuin's debut album Sakura Gakuin 2010 Nendo ~message~ in April 2011, performing the track "Do・Ki・Do・Ki☆MORNING". In October 2011, they released a DVD containing the music video for the song.

On October 19, 2018, it was announced that YUIMETAL decided to leave the band. Since her departure, the band has performed with one or more backup dancers at live performances. In 2019, the band introduced three backup dancers called "Avengers" who performed in rotation at each live show to form a trio with MOAMETAL and SU-METAL. MOMOMETAL, who had previously toured with the group as one of the Avengers, was announced as the official third member of the group on April 1, 2023.
