Man with a Mission (stylized in all caps and sometimes shortened as MWAM) is a Japanese rock band which was formed in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, in 2010.[8] The band currently consists of five band members, with stage names of Tokyo Tanaka (vocals, leader), Jean-Ken Johnny (guitar, vocals, rapping), Kamikaze Boy (bass guitar, backing vocals), DJ Santa Monica (DJ, sampling) and Spear Rib (drums).[9] Their distinguishing feature is that all of the members wear differently designed wolf masks during both their concerts and their music videos.[10] Many of their singles have been used as theme songs for a variety of anime, live-action movies, and video games.
