Cali Gari (or cali≠gari) is a Japanese visual kei experimental rock band formed with the concept erotic grotesque. It was founded in 1992 and named after the horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The band's debut single came out in 1994 and their first major single was "Dai 7 Jikkenshitsu Yokokuban -Maguro-" released April 2002. The band paused activities after their last concert on June 22, 2003.

Since the band's hiatus, Shuuji started a solo project called goatbed. Makoto and Ao went to form LAB. THE BASEMENT. Makoto has since quit the band to join Cyanotype. In 2004 Kenjirou went on to join Sex Machineguns for two years and now is a live support member for Coaltar of the Deepers.

In April 2009, the band announced a reunion and the release of a greatest hits album and a live DVD. Their official fanclub has also reopened until spring 2010.

The band also announced a brand new full-length album, 10, which was released on August 26, 2009 along with the double single, "9 -tou- hen" and "9 School Zone hen", to be released a month earlier. This marks the first full-length album from the band in 6 years.
