Beck is a coming-of-age musical drama manga by Harold Sakuishi, which was originally serialized in Monthly Shonen Magazine from 1999 to 2008 and compiled into 34 volumes. It was later adapted to a 26-episode anime series that first aired from 2004 to 2005.Ordinary Middle School Student Yukio "Koyuki" Tanaka wonders if his life will ever be interesting enough to write an autobiography. This all starts to change as he steps in to rescue a frankenstein-looking dog from a bunch of pestering kids. The dog, Beck, turns out to belong to Ryuusuke "Ray" Minami, a Japanese kid with a checkered past that was largely spent in New York in the company of a currently world-famous singer/songwriter. Ryuusuke introduces Koyuki to rock music and lends him a guitar.Ryuusuke is also setting up a band, which eventually gets named BECK, after the dog. After Koyuki has learned to play the guitar to a somewhat passable level, he gets accepted into the band. There he impresses everyone with his fantastic voice. From then on, the whole story is mainly about BECK's struggles to become famous, both nationally in Japan and internationally. Well, that and Koyuki's romantic troubles with Ryuusuke's sister, Maho.The other members of the band are: Ryuusuke Minami: The lead guitarist and front man for BECK. Raised in America, he and his sister Maho often stick out because of their personalities. While in America, he had befriended Eddie Lee, a prodigious guitarist who goes on to be famous in his later years. Ryuusuke vows to Eddie that he will make a band worthy enough to play alongside him, and goes on to learn guitar. Ryuusuke himself is rather talented, and has a bit of an ego. Yoshiyuki Taira: The bassist of BECK. As the oldest, he is the most mature member and has the most experience with music (his father was the bassist of a jazz band.) He has no problem with staying in the background, but will speak up if he feels he needs to. His play style is based off Michael "Flea" Balzary of The Red Hot Chili Peppers fame. He also has bleach blonde hair and doesn't wear a shirt on stage. Tsunemi Chiba: The lead vocalist of BECK. His rougher vocals suit the band's faster songs, but he raps for the majority of the songs. His brash and hot-blooded nature usually gets him in trouble, but he's just passionate about what he does. In his spare time he participates in rap battles, and apparently he knows some martial arts. His look and rapping style is a shout out to Zack De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine. Yuuji "Saku" Sakurai: The drummer of BECK, and a transfer student. He quickly befriends Koyuki through the music of The Dying Breed. Not one to conform, he is unafraid to speak to Koyuki after a school-wide silence is imposed on him. He is surprisingly talented, and the moment the band hears him play, they recruit him.Not to be confused with the alternative rock musician of the same name, nor with the Swedish movie and TV series. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Particularly weird when it results in a band that the anime uses actual The Pillows songs for the performances of, but it's not actually supposed to be The Pillows. Guy Sexton, the lead singer of Powergate, is a carbon copy of Fred Durst if he shared the same tattooist as Chester Bennington. Doggie, Leon Sykes's manga-only second bodyguard, is a dead-on Expy of Snoop Dogg. Hype's frontman Dexter Adams looks like a cross between Sting and Chris Martin (with a dash of Thom Yorke for good measure). Earth's vocalist and guitarist are highly reminiscent of Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, down to the stage antics. Be honest, Eddie Lee gives off the feel like he's a more upbeat version of Kurt Cobain. He also looks like a younger Daniel Johns. And his name is quite similar to Geddy Lee. If Billy Corgan wore sunglasses and had drinking problems, he'd be Matt Reed. | |

Bishōnen: Ryuusuke, Eiji's band, Yoshito, Eddie Lee. And depending on your point of view, Koyuki. Koyuki's more like a cute little boy, in the anime at least (he's 14 when the story starts, after all). | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: One of Koyuki's coworkers finds a banged-up SG while collecting garbage. As it reminds him of his past before becoming a Corrupt Corporate Executive, Ran takes it in exchange for no longer getting in Beck's way. "Devil's Way," Eddie Lee's unreleased song. From playing it privately to Koyuki over the phone, it becomes an important plot point late in the manga. Remember that fabled helicopter of Matt's that was offhandedly referred to in an earlier chapter? The one that Ryuusuke said was just gossip written for the tabloids? Well, it exists. And it shows up just in time for a Big Damn Heroes moment. | |

Ordinary High-School Student | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_22e5329e | comment |
Ordinary High-School Student: Koyuki, at least until he ditches school for BECK. Also Saku. Izumi and Hiromi fit this too, though they are mostly secondary in different points in Koyuki's life (e.g. once he starts attending high school, Izumi is Put on a Bus—as are almost all of his middle school colleagues—with Hiromi serving as a replacement of sorts, because she starts dating Saku). | |

Bland-Name Product: The Anime is full of them, the characters shirts often have Band names usually with one letter swapped, like The Pixis, The Rammones, Tho Who, also a common one is Samsang. Episode 5 features a bottle of Dack Janiels. Averted in the opening sequence, where a number of Real Life casino logos had to be censored in the American release for legal reasons (including the fake Coca-Cola logo, just to be safe). | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: The lyrics to BECK's songs are full of it, though not completely ("Spice of Life", for example, does have verses in Japanese). There's also Koyuki singing in English without knowing the language. To be fair, he's not that bad with getting it right, it's only his accent that's too thick (for example, his "gently" in "Moon in the Water" sounds like "gentry"). | |

Eyes Always Shut | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_2f30658a | comment |
Eyes Always Shut: Saku. Naturally averted in the movie. Lampshaded when Saku justifies not showing his driver's license to Koyuki: he says the photo didn't come out good because he had to open his eyes. But since said photo is never seen, the trope's still in effect. | |

Stout Strength: One could describe Saitou like this: despite that gut of his, he's an incredibly adept swimmer (which is a sport that requires a good amount of physical power). | |

| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_79b16b48 | comment |
There's also Koyuki singing in English without knowing the language. To be fair, he's not that bad with getting it right, it's only his accent that's too thick (for example, his "gently" in "Moon in the Water" sounds like "gentry"). | |

Large Ham: Saitou, Koyuki's swimming teacher-slash-guitar teacher-slash-employer. The man is just about as hammy as a middle-aged Japanese man can get, or even more. Chiba could also count. He is, by far, the loudest of the members of BECK. | |

Sex as Rite-of-Passage: Heavily implied with all the times Maho slipped into Koyuki's room. Doesn't help that she also averts Not Staying for Breakfast. The day of the Avalon Festival is the one definite point where this trope is probably invoked. (She wanted to go to Japan a few chapters earlier and packed her lingerie.) | |

Absurdly High-Stakes Game | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_930e1bd4 | comment |
Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Ryuusuke likes making impossible bets involving Beck, and somehow he seems to expect his band to win. It might have to do with him believing that his band can win crowds over with their soulful and skillful performances, and not management touch-ups. The others still always call him out on it anyway. | |

Ryuusuke is later revealed to feel this way towards Eddie, fearing that he is quickly left behind and forgotten by his old friend as despite their childhood promise of playing in the same stage one day, Eddie's successes is still far and away eclipses Ryuusuke's own. In fact, Ryuusuke's last words to Eddie is lashing out and accusing him of having forgotten their childhood promise, something that he regretted deeply later. | |

Egocentric Team Naming | |

Egocentric Team Naming: When the main characters are trying to come up with a name for their band, lead guitarist Ryuusuke spends a moment on the floor writing ideas. When he's finished, he holds it up proudly, and every suggestion contains his name, like "The Ryuusuke Experience" and so on. Of course, no one was impressed, though the fangirls that hang around them were amused. | |

The English track changes it even further, integrating lyrics from "50-Cent Wisdom" (a Dying Breed song in the show). | |

| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_a4ad4fe5 | comment |
I Know Karate: It's mentioned that Chiba is a martial artist, though for most of the series it's an Informed Attribute we only see when he harasses his friends with kicks and pro wrestling moves. His skills are finally put on display when he uses Karate to rescue Koyuki from a recurring villain and periodically trounces schoolyard bullies. It's even more impressive in the live action movie, when he knocks around a large gang at the skatepark. Most of the fight happens off-screen, but the bullies limp away frantically as Chiba triumphantly cheers, so it can be inferred he's just as tough as he claims to be. | |

A Good Name for a Rock Band | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_b9561236 | comment |
A Good Name for a Rock Band; Well, no. "BECK" gets settled on because all other options Ryuusuke and Chiba can come up with suck worse. By the time they make their international debut, their first agent comes up with the name "Mongolian Chop Squad". It's used whenever they're outside Japan, usually abbreviated to MCS. Line-of-Sight Name: How they settle on "BECK"; they name the band after the dog, who was there at the time. | |

Progressive Instrumentation: At the climax of the Greatful Sound 5 arc (and the anime), everyone but Koyuki has given up, so he is left on his own on stage, and begins to play without the rest of the band. Inspired, one by one the rest of the band joins in, building on the song this way. The song in the original Japanese audio was The Beatles' "I Got A Feeling," but the export soundtracks (including the Japanese tracks) change the lyrics. | |

Never Learned to Read | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_e9a3a1ed | comment |
Never Learned to Read: Maho can't read kanji, making her almost completely illiterate. Justified because she grew up in America and only recently moved to Japan. She's perfectly literate in English, and can speak Japanese just fine. | |

Remember that fabled helicopter of Matt's that was offhandedly referred to in an earlier chapter? The one that Ryuusuke said was just gossip written for the tabloids? Well, it exists. And it shows up just in time for a Big Damn Heroes moment. | |

Jerkass | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Quite a few characters in the series are jerks. Kevin in the manga. He does everything to push the members of BECK (rather, MCS) around while they are touring the USA as the opening act for F.V.E. (the band for which he and his brother, David, who is sympathetic towards the guys, play) just for the hell of it. But then again, he justifies this by the fact that MCS's performances in USA are subpar (which they had been, until Ryusuke rejoined them in Seattle). From what David tells Ryusuke later on, this may be simply prejudice since Kevin had a Japanese girlfriend in high school, but she cheated on him. Heck, any prominent character under Ran's wing (including Ran himself) is one of these. Eiji seems to enjoy looking down on BECK as a whole, while Yoshito outright hates Koyuki just because of Maho. As for Ran, well... | |

One-Steve Limit: Why they're known as Mongolian Chop Squad overseas. Actually also why Yukio is called "Koyuki:" in one of the classes he and Izumi had together, there was another Yukio Tanaka;a as the smaller one, he was called "Little (ko) Yuki." | |

Technician Versus Performer | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_ef3d1b57 | comment |
Technician Versus Performer: The feud between Ryuusuke and Eiji, Ryuusuke being the Performer, Eiji being technician. Also, to a minor extent, Koyuki and Yoshito. As Eiji disappeared, it's more Koyuki and Hyoudo. In general, BECK and Belle Ame also follow this: BECK being Performer, Belle Ame being Technician, and other bands associated with BECK, such as The Dying Breed and Ciel-Bleu also being Performer. Hyoudo's band also was technician, as Ryusuuke pointed out. In general the Performer beats the Technician, except in best guitar when both Koyuki and Hyoudo won. It should be noted that BECK plays both more technically challenging music than Belle Ame as well as more sonically pleasing music. | |

Running Gag | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Koyuki realizes he doesn't speak English every single time someone around him speaks it. ("I-can't-engurishu!") As a matter of fact, we learn in the manga that, of the five members of BECK, Ryusuke is the only one who can speak English, which leads to loads of lost-in-translation when they go to the USA. And it's rather ironic, since Chiba sings mostly in English. So he wouldn't have a clue of what the songs mean if Ryusuke didn't explain (assuming that he did)? It's possible that Chiba knows some (and he raps mostly in Japanese, by the way). We see that Taira later gets to learn as well, leaving only Saku (who is frequently asking "What's he saying?" to Taira) and Koyuki lost in translation. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad (Manga) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
The name BECK is more than likely an obvious reference to the musician of the same name. Considering the naming conventions for pets in the series, such as the cockatoo Page and the other dog Keith, it's also more likely BECK's named after Jeff Beck from The Yardbirds. This becomes unfortunate when Funimation was (eventually) forced to rename their release of the anime, allegedly because the real Beck complained. | |
