Kariyushi58 (かりゆし58, stylized as "kariyushi58" in English) is a Japanese four-man pop group formed in 2005, from Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, and headliner of the Utanohi music festival. The group consists of Maekawa Shingo (vocal and bass), Shinya Yukihiro (guitar), Nakamura Hiroki (drums), Miyahira Naoki (guitar).

Their sound contains many elements of traditional Okinawan folk music, Rock, and Reggae. The name is a portmanteau of the Okinawan かりゆし, meaning "harmony" or "happiness", and 58, the number of the local Japanese National Route.[1]
