was a large all-girl Japanese pop idol group in the 1980s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Onyanko Club )〕 The group gave a new approach to the idol formula with its 52 official members and three unofficial members.〔 Some members of the group participated in several subgroups such as Nyangilas, Ushirogami Hikaretai, and Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi, with the latter two groups providing most of the soundtrack to the popular 80s anime series ''High School! Kimengumi''.〔 The group debuted on April 1, 1985 on their own Fuji TV variety show ''Yūyake Nyan Nyan''〔 with eleven high school girls selected from participants in the Fuji TV aired in February that same year. The group disbanded on September 9, 1987 with a final concert.〔 There have been several reunion appearances, including one on a recent episode of ''Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ''. Several big-name idols stemmed from the group, one of the best known being Shizuka Kudō.〔 The same formula was used by the more internationally familiar group Morning Musume, and people regularly compare Onyanko Club to Morning Musume.〔 They even gave a small tribute to Onyanko Club at the end of their member "roll call"-esque song "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari" when they do the classic "Nyan Nyan" pose. The song is similar to the series of three "Kaiin Bango no Uta" songs released by Onyanko Club. The Idol-Group formula pioneered by the Onyanko Club is also similar to another Yasushi Akimoto-produced group, AKB48. ==Members== Listed in order of joining Onyanko Club.
