Golden Bomber (ゴールデンボンバー) is a four-piece Japanese rock visual-kei air band. They are also known as Kanebaku (金爆), Bomber, Gorubon (ゴルボン), or GB. The band formed in 2004 when vocalist Kiryuin and guitarist Kyan came together with a band concept of "Hyper Giga Hybrid Super Subculture Visual Rock". To go through with this concept, the band began to dance during each performance, developed a drama that was screened during their concerts, and did parodies of famous Japanese rock and pop songs.

In 2009, the band performed a nationwide tour with forty-six stops for twelve months. It was so successful that they did again in the next year with fewer dates. Also in 2010, the band released a song each month for the year with each song reaching #1 on the Chaku Uta charts.
