Fujiya & Miyagi are a European group formed in Brighton, East Sussex in 2000. The current line up consists of David Best (vocals and guitar), Stephen Lewis (synths and vocals), Ed Chivers (drums) and Ben Adamo (bass and vocals). They have released six studio albums: Electro Karaoke in the Negative Style (2002), Transparent Things (2006), Lightbulbs (2008), Ventriloquizzing (2011),Artificial Sweeteners (2014) and Fujiya & Miyagi (2017). They are currently signed to Impossible Objects of Desire worldwide.

The first several years after the band's formation were spent in relative obscurity; however, they began to see a drastic spike in popularity between 2003 and 2006, thanks in large part to favorable reviews from prominent music publications such as NME and Pitchfork Media.

The band were also the subject of an episode of the MTV2 documentary series This is Our Music in 2006. Their song "Uh" was also featured in an episode of Breaking Bad and an episode of British sci-fi series Misfits. "Collarbone" was featured on an episode of the US adaptation of the British teen drama Skins, while "Vagaries of Fashion" was featured on an episode of How To Get Away With Murder.

The former part of the band's name comes from the Fujiya brand of record players, while the latter is due to Mr Miyagi from The Karate Kid.
