Its not the name of any of the three band members.

So glad you asked...because it is a rare name for a band. Ikimono means 'life', 'living thing', etc. Kakari means a 'committee' in elementary and junior high schools in Japan. The Ikimono Gakari members are in charge of taking care of the small animals kept at the schools, which typically are chikens, birds, rabbits, carp, gold fish, etc. Just dunno the English term for it (or even whether schools keep animals in your country).

My favorite Ikimono Gakari song:

'Sakura'
