Banana Ice is a Japanese rap artist. Along with Shitamachi Kyōdai, he sang the theme song for the Japanese dubbing of Beast Wars: "WAR WAR! STOP IT".

Your parents, your grandparents are Japanese; You can never be the black person you want to be;

Banana Ice was relatively popular in Japan during the '90s; he even sang the theme song for the Japanese dub of Donkey Kong Country and also provided the voice for Funky Kong. So far as his rap career is concerned, he saw success with several albums and released a compilation in 1998 titled, "Rap Rapper Rappest". Banana Ice briefly gained some controversial notoriety amongst rap fans around the world with the song "Imitation + Imitation = Imitation", wherein he condemned all "B-Boys" (Japanese rappers who tan their skin and wear dreadlocks in an attempt to look black) as phonies and cultural traitors.
