チェキッ娘 (Checkicco) was an idol group formed by Yasushi Akimoto, who was also the producer of the group, along with Masahiro Mizuguchi, a producer for Fuji TV who had the idea of creating “an Onyanko Club (an iconic 80s idol group also produced by Akimoto) for the Heisei era”. Checkicco debuted in 1998 with the single “Dakishimete”. Their name comes from the phrase “Check it!”, a catchphrase of Tomoe Shinohara.

There were several things about Checkicco that were similar to Onyanko Club. Like Onyanko Club, Checkicco also hosted their own TV show called DAIBAtteki!. Each member also had her own number (ID) just like Onyanko Club’s members did.

Checkicco broke up on November 3, 1999. At the Girl Pop Factory 2004 event, however, the members performed together as Checkicco again for only one day.

Their producer, Yasushi Akimoto, now produces the idol group AKB48, currently Japan’s top female group, while Fuji TV created the idol group Idoling!!!, who are often described as a modern Onyanko Club and retain the numbering system for each member. The two groups are close and have worked on a single together in 2009 as AKBIdoling!!! and each have appeared as special guests on the other’s weekly TV shows.
