Triceratops (トライセラトップス Toraiseratoppusu?) is a Japanese rock band formed in 1996 that play pop-rock music. Their work has been compared to Do As Infinity.
Primarily influenced by British invasion bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Irish rockers U2 and American acts such as Michael Jackson and Weezer, the bands songs feature strong melodic lines, harmonies and are often backed by straight blues-influenced rock and roll.
