Vorlage:Infobox musical artist Ladybaby is a Japanese kawaii metal[1] musical duo consisting of aspiring photographic models Rie Kaneko and Vorlage:Illm,[1][2][3][4][5][6] with previous member Ladybeard, the bearded crossdressing persona of Australian male professional wrestler Rick Magarey.[7][8][9] The trio has released three singles thus far. On August 1, 2016, the group rebranded itself after Ladybeard's withdrawal from the group, now going by "The Idol Formerly Known as LADYBABY".[10]

History

Wrestler Richard Magarey, originally from Adelaide, moved to China in 2006 to kickstart his martial arts stunt career in films, later becoming a hit in Hong Kong as a cross-dressing pro wrestler, and in October 2013 he moved to Tokyo in Japan to attempt a similar career there.[11] He later formed the band with singers Rie Kaneko and Rei Kuromiya and released their first track and music video titled 'Nippon Manju' ('Japanese Bun', in English) which is a song that covers all the things they love about Japan.[11] Released in July 2015, the music video went viral on YouTube, at one point gathering 1 million views in 2 days.[12] Ladybeard has dubbed the band as 'Kawaiicore'.[11]

Their second single, released in Japan on 13 January 2016, debuted at number 15 in the daily Oricon charts.[13] On August 1, 2016, the group re branded by changing the group's name to "The Idol Formerly Known as LADYBABY". The remaining members will have a live show on September 16, 2016 under the new branding.[10]
