Hoff Dylan is a Japanese pop duo known for their work in anime theme songs, most notably providing the first ending theme for the long-running comedy series Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo, commonly known as KochiKame.

The group is a duo consisting of Watanababy, who handles vocals and guitar, and Yuhi Komiyama, who provides vocals and keyboard. Both members are involved in songwriting and composition, contributing to the band's unique musical perspective. The duo's name is a combination of a reference to the influential musician Bob Dylan and a friend of the members who was a homeroom teacher.

Hoff Dylan made their major debut on July 3, 1996, with the single Smile, released under the label Pony Canyon. This song was immediately used as the first ending theme for the KochiKame TV anime, playing over the closing credits of episodes one through twelve. The song has a gentle, encouraging tone, with lyrics that emphasize maintaining a smile even when unexpected things happen. The accompanying animation for the ending sequence depicted the main character Ryotsu engaging in various low-key activities at the police station before joining a festival.

Beyond this notable debut, the duo has sustained a connection to anime. They performed Coji Coji Ginza, the opening theme for the first season of the TBS anime Kojikoji. This single was released on November 7, 1997. The lyrics for this particular song were written by Momoko Sakura, the original creator of the Kojikoji manga and anime. Decades later, in 2022, Hoff Dylan revisited this collaboration by releasing a distribution single titled Cocokara Ginza, which was created for a commercial in partnership with the Kojikoji anime. This later song appears on their tenth studio album, Island CD, released in September 2022.

The musical identity of Hoff Dylan is rooted in pop, with a sound that incorporates elements of dream-pop and alternative rock. Their work for anime often features light, melodic arrangements with a sense of warmth and nostalgia, while their broader discography includes more experimental and varied compositions. Their significance in the industry lies in their longevity and their ability to maintain a dedicated fan base. They are recognized for a distinct musical style that blends catchy pop sensibilities with thoughtful lyrics, a formula that successfully translated into the anime soundtrack space early in their career.
