Yasuko Onuki (often known simply as Yako, Yasuko or Yasuko O.[1]) is the singer from Japanese band Melt-Banana,[2] which she founded in 1991.[3] She has a frantic chirping and yelping vocal style[4] which is an important part of Melt-Banana's unique sound.[2] She writes all of Melt-Banana's lyrics, which she sings in English, stating that:

When I first started singing in a band, I was singing in Japanese, but I changed to English. I thought that English would fit more to my style of singing.[5]
