Psycho le Cému is a Japanese Visual rock band. Its members are AYA, DAISHI, Lida, seek, and YURAサマ (YURA-sama). The band is heavily influenced by cosplay and its members dress up in costumes that resemble anime and TV game characters, some of which are reminiscent of the characters from the fantasy RPG Dragon Quest. Their cosplaying made them stand out in the Gothic Lolita dominated visual kei scene of 2001/2 and established a niche with visual kei fans who have an interest in anime and cosplay. Recently this has expanded to include American fans of anime or cosplay, sometimes referred to as otaku. Fans of the band often cosplay their favourite outfits. They follow the visual kei formula of creating a new set of costumes for each single. Promotional music videos often have storylines based on anime or Eastern mythology. The band also perform as an alter-ego band called "Bad Boys, Be Ambitious!" Though they may appear comical, they are in no way a novelty act.

As of June 2005, the band is on a break due to DAISHI's conviction for substance abuse. The remaining members have formed side projects in the meantime; AYA and seek in the band ISABELLE with three other members and Lida and YURA-sama in Dacco. They have ended their relationship with their label, Crown Records, as well as their management, Sweet Child Entertainments, and now are pursuing their projects independently.
