Shibugakitai (シブがき隊) was a Johnny's Entertainment group that was active from 1982 to 1988.In 1981, all 3 members appeared in the TBS drama 2年B組仙八先生 (2nen Bgumi Senpachi-Sensei) and Shibugakitai was formed. Their name comes from シブい“ガキ” (Shibui "Gaki" - cool brats). They were introduced in the magazine Seventeen under the name シブがきトリオ (Shibugaki Trio), but their name was changed to Shibugakitai. They also appeared on a show called "The Youngest Ten" as Team A, with Shonentai being Team B. They had their own back dancers called シブ楽器隊 (Shibugakkitai - cool musical instruments group).
As soon as the group disbanded, Motoki and Fukawa left the company. Yakumaru left a year later. Since then, the 3 have never appeared all together at the same time. All 3 have been frequent guests on Hanamaru Cafe, where it was discovered that Motoki and Fukawa still hung out in private, which shocked Yakumaru.
