Originally consisting of guitarist and vocalists <a href="/wiki/Kyoji_Yamamoto" title="Kyoji Yamamoto">Kyoji Yamamoto</a> and Mitsuhiro Saito, bassist Kenji Sano and drummer Toshihiro Niimi, they were one of the first <a href="/wiki/Japanese_metal" title="Japanese metal">Japanese metal</a> bands. After releasing nine studio albums, Saito left in 1983. The band then adopted a mainstream sound by recruiting lead vocalist <a href="/wiki/Genki_Hitomi" title="Genki Hitomi">Genki Hitomi</a> and keyboardist Rei Atsumi and renamed themselves to <b>Vow Wow</b>. They relocated to England in 1986, before Sano left the band the following year and Yamamoto invited former <a href="/wiki/Whitesnake" title="Whitesnake">Whitesnake</a> bassist <a href="/wiki/Neil_Murray_(British_musician)" title="Neil Murray (British musician)">Neil Murray</a> to replace him. After Murray left to join <a href="/wiki/Black_Sabbath" title="Black Sabbath">Black Sabbath</a>, studio bassist Mark Gould played on Vow Wow's last album before they disbanded in 1990. </p><p>Yamamoto reformed Bow Wow in 1995 with all new members, before it became a trio when fellow original members Saito and Niimi rejoined in 1998.
