PEELANDER-Z, the Japanese Action Comic Punk Band, was originally formed in 1998 by the three band members Peelander-Yellow, Peelander-Red, and Peelander-Blue, after they met in New York City (although they'll claim that they're all from the Z area on the planet Peelander). Peelander-Green was welcomed in July of 2008 after Blue left the band.

At their live shows, band members dress up in colorful costumes reminiscent of characters seen in Japanese Animation films, though they describe their outfits as “their skin”. Their shows guarantee intense audience participation and a chance to exercise with the band. "Do human bowling with us! Do limbo dancing with us! Do karaoke competition with us! Hit our cowbell with us!" says Yellow. "Don't be shy, give us your smile! We can beat your stress!” Prior to their performance, they will judge the “Cosplay Fashion Show” that begins at 6:30 pm and is open to audience participation.
