UltraCats (ウルトラキャッツ, UrutoraKyattsu, formed October 19, 2001) is a Japanese popular musical group consisting of members Utchan, Ōtake, Udo, and Jinny.
UltraCats started off as a singing group on a Japanese TV show Utchan Nanchan no Urinari!!
Knowing her dream and struggle, after Brand New Biscuits' cessation, Uchimura started UltraCats as a part of the show, and besides them, he included the members Udo, which makes it to have a similar member structure to the once popular singing group from the show, Pocket Biscuits, and later Ōtake.
In terms of the activities as UltraCats in the show, all they did was go to Korea and try to promote by singing their only song at that time "Barem" in Korean on the streets—which attracted a handful of fans that supported them by going around to their street performances and making a website—and by contacting media and producers, which did not always welcome them.
So Uchimura started asking around almost all the TV stations around Tokyo if they could start a show in any form for UltraCats so that they could continue singing and selling CD's, on the condition that he would not need any salary, as he had been popular and active for over 15 years and his salary would be costly, and that he would do anything to help out such as providing funding for the show if needed.
