Golden Bomber (ゴールデンボンバー) is a Japanese Visual Kei air band. It is also known as Kanebaku (金爆), Bomber (ボンバー), 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 the 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.
