Shakkazombie (シャカゾンビ) is a Japanese hip-hop group. Formed in the 1990s, the group consists of Osumi a.k.a. Big-O (Takeshi Osumi), Hide-Bowie a.k.a. Ignition Man (Hidehiro Iguchi), and Tsutchie (Shinji Tsuchida). One of Japan's influential hip-hop groups, they are known for featuring & introducing many artists in their collaborations such as Nitro Microphone Underground.
The group was formed in 1993 when DJ & producer Tsutchie joined with emcees Osumi and Hide-Bowie, who were already making hip-hop music at the time. Hide-Bowie played jazz music before becoming a hip-hop artist and both he and Osumi were influenced by the hip-hop lifestyle. In his first year of high school, Tsutchie was inspired by hip-hop acts such as Run DMC and the Beastie Boys which lead to him becoming a beatmaker.
In 1995, Shakkazombie released their debut single Shakkattack. They later formed the Ookami Crew collective with Japanese hip-hop group Buddha Brand, releasing the single "大怪我 (Ookega, Serious Injury)" in 1996. On July 7, 1996, the group along with Buddha Brand, Rhymester, Muro, YOU THE ROCK★, King Giddra, Soul Scream, and several Japanese hip-hop artists took part in the hip-hop concert & festival Thumpin Camp at the Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Organized by Japanese rapper ECD, the event was later made into a hip-hop documentary similar to the 1995 American hip-hop documentary The Show and a soundtrack was released with Shakkazombie, ECD, Buddha Brand, YOU THE ROCK★, K DUB SHINE of King Giddra, DJ/production duo FORCE OF NATURE, and other artists.
In July 1997, the group released their first full-length album Hero The S.Z. The album included guest artists Nitro Microphone Underground and DJ Hazime. The song "空を取り戻した日 (Sora wo torimodoshita hi, Recover The Sky Of Day)" was featured during the end credits of "Session XX: Yose Atsume Blues" of the anime series Cowboy Bebop. The episode was only aired once in Japan and the song was never featured in any of the official Cowboy Bebop soundtracks.
In December 1998, Osumi would release his first solo album Control (The Spiritual Matters). Along with his Shakkazombie bandmates, the album featured production by DJ Watarai, Go Go King Recorders, and Dev Large of Buddha Brand with guest appearances by DJ Ohkubo, MACKA-CHIN of Nitro Microphone Underground, Keita "Cro-Ovi" Ishiguro of the hip-hop group Kimidori, Dejja, and Tina. Hide-Bowie, under his new moniker of Ignition Man, was featured on the song "Unsigned Hype" while Tsutchie produced "No Limit (Tsutchie Remix)".
In July 1999, the group released the EP Big Blue and their second album Journey Of Foresight. Released on July 23, Journey Of Foresight included guest appearances by Suiken, XBS, and Dabo of Nitro Microphone Underground, Lori Fine of the band COLDFEET, DJ/producer Illicit Tsuboi, and pianist Saiko Tsukamoto. The song "白いヤミの中 (Shiroi yami no naka, The White Darkness (Kimidori Break Version))" off the Big Blue EP, a remake of Kimidori's 1993 song of the same name, was known in the West after the track was used in a fan anime music video of Cowboy Bebop and Trigun for the 2001 Anime Expo entitled "Tainted Donuts". Osumi would later join Dev Large, Suiken & hip-hop duo Lunch Time Speax as the group God Inc and released the single "El Dorado Throw Down".
On February 23, 2000, the group released the compilation album S-Sence 2000 featuring several remixes by artists such as DJ Spinna, Master Low, Ropes, D.O.I., Japanese punk band Brahman, DJ Hazime, DJ Watarai, 4Hero, and FORCE OF NATURE.
On June 27, 2001, the group released the EP Get On Da Track. The mini album featured guest appearances by S-Word of Nitro Microphone Underground, emcee Nipps of Buddha Brand, and violinist/cellist Chieko Kinbara. The album also featured remixes of "カモフラ (Kamofura, Camouflage)" by American hip-hop producer Jay Dee a.k.a. J. Dilla of the hip-hop group Slum Village, "Right Here" by DJ Watarai, "First Tour" by DJ Takeshi Kubota of Kimidori, and "Get Yourself Arrested (W.E.
