Half Japanese is a punk rock band formed by brothers Jad and David Fair in their Coldwater, Michigan, bedroom around 1975 (though they, themselves have dated the beginning of the band from 1975, after the family's relocation to Uniontown, Maryland). Their original instrumentation included a small drum set, which they took turns playing; vocals; and an out of tune (but quite distorted) guitar. Both Fair brothers sang, although over time Jad moved into the frontman role.
