Sheena & The Rokkets

After the pioneering Mentai Rock act broke up in 1978, guitarist Makoto Ayukawa recruited his wife Etsuko for his new project. Forming the word Rokkets from "Rock" and "Etsu", and with Etsuko adopting the name Sheena after the Ramones' song "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker", the band christened themselves Sheena & The Rokkets. On January 29, 2023, Makoto Ayukawa died from pancreatic cancer. == Members ==
