PIERROT was a Japanese visual rock band, originally founded in 1994 by Kirito and Jun in Nagano. The original band members were HIDELOW on vocals, Kirito and Jun on guitar, KOHTA on bass, and LUKA on drums. In November of that year, LUKA left and TAKEO joined. Then, in February of 1995, HIDELOW also left the band while Aiji joined, completing the final line up: Kirito on vocals, Aiji and Jun on guitar, KOHTA on bass and TAKEO on drums.

PIERROT was one of the oldest bands still around in 2005 in the Jrock scene. They started off like any other decent visual kei band and made their major label debut in September, 1998 with the single Kuria Sukai (CLEAR SKY). Their final album was DICTATORS CIRCUS -A deformed BUD-, a best album with singles spanning from 10 years of their career. Their final single was HELLO, an apt title for a band who started their major career with an album called FINALE.

The vocalist, Kirito, who embarked on a solo career in 2005, released his first solo album, titled HAMELN 2005.08.03.

On April 12th, 2006 the band announced its disbandment.
