Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi (うしろゆびさされ組) was a female Japanese pop music duo consisting of Yukiko Iwai and Mamiko Takai, formed in 1985. [1] In parallel to their membership in this duo, Iwai and Takai were at the same time members of Onyanko Club, a large pop group widely seen as a precursor to groups such as Morning Musume and AKB48. Onyanko Club sang back-up vocals on some of the songs released by Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi.[1] They are most notable for singing several of the theme songs for the anime TV series High School! Kimengumi.[2]

The group had a somewhat unusual appearance, due to the difference in height between Iwai and Takai.[1][2] Takai was the taller one of the two, with a height of about 5' 4'' (about 162 cm), while Iwai barely reached 4' 11'' (about 150 cm), so the height difference was quite remarkable.[1][2]

Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi debuted on television on 30 September 1985. Throughout their short-lived career, the group released six singles, three albums, a concert video, and two photo books (in addition to the Kimengumi soundtrack albums). The group disbanded after Takai's graduation from Onyanko Club on 5 April 1987.
