'''Hanatarashi''' ({{nihongo2|ハナタラシ}}), meaning "sniveler" or "snot-nosed" in Japanese, was a [[noise music|noise]] band created by later [[Boredoms]] frontman [[Yamantaka Eye]] in [[Osaka]], [[Japan]] in 1983. The other core member during the early years was later [[Zeni Geva]] drummer and Boredoms co-founder Ikuo Taketani.<ref name="discogs">[https://www.discogs.com/artist/562361-Ikuo-Taketani Entry at discogs.com]</ref> After the release of the first album, the "I" was dropped and the name became "Hanatarash".
