Chatmonchy (チャットモンチー, chattomonchī) was a three-piece all-female rock band which consisted of Eriko Hashimoto (guitar, vocals), Akiko Fukuoka (bass, chorus), and formerly Kumiko Takahashi (drums, chorus) who are from Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku, Japan. From 2005, they were signed to Sony Music Japan's Ki/oon Records record label. In November 2017, the band announced that they were disbanding. The band had their final single-act concert on July 4, 2018, at the Nippon Budokan, and held their last "Konason Fest" on July 21 and 22. In 2000, Eriko Hashimoto formed Chatmonchy while at high school in the city of Tokushima, Tokushima Prefecture. Having seen her brother perform at the first concert she attended, she decided to form a trio. Although she had been part of a brass band throughout junior high and high school, her brother began teaching her guitar. According to Hashimoto, "one of the members insisted on using the word 'monchi', like 'monkey'." The name derived from an image of a cute monkey doll named "Monchhichi", from the Hiroshi Jinsenji-directed animation series Futago no Monchhichi, which ran 130 episodes through 1980. The group then picked the word "chat" randomly from a dictionary to make the name.
