{{nihongo|'''175R'''|１７５Ｒ|Inago Raidā|"Inago Rider"}} is a [[Japanese music|Japanese]] [[ska punk]] band from [[Kitakyūshū, Fukuoka|Kitakyūshū]], [[Fukuoka Prefecture]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=175R Songs, Albums, Reviews, Bio & More |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/175r-mn0001404657 |access-date=2022-12-11 |website=AllMusic |language=en}}</ref>

Debuting in 2001, 175R has released seven [[single (music)|single]]s, seven [[album]]s and four [[DVD]]s. The band's members include [[Shogo_(musician)|Shogo]] on [[Singing|Vocals]], Kazya on [[guitar]], Isakick on [[Bass guitar|bass]] and Yoshiaki on [[Drum kit|drums]].  The band shared their second single with the band Shaka Labbits. The name 175R means "Inago Rider," which is derived from the ''[[goroawase]]'' of "175" plus "R" for "rider." ''Inago'' (蝗) means [[grasshopper]] in [[Japanese language|Japanese]], as a reference to the popular ''[[Kamen Rider Series]]'' of [[tokusatsu]] television programs. In 2007, the group's single "Yume de Aeta Nara..." was featured as the ending theme for the film ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O: I'm Born!]]''. 

Another one of their songs, ''Melody'', was used featured in a music-related [[video game]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] called ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]]''. Unlike the other songs included in the game, ''Ouendan'' made use of an actual (albeit edited) 175R recording, instead of a cover version.
