Headgear is a group consisting of five main writers and artists who work in the Japanese anime/ manga field. The group was set up so that all the creators could retain full copyright to their work, achieve greater publicity for their work and sell their manga to anime sponsors for film production. The members are Masami Yuki, Yutaka Izubuchi, Kazunori Itō, Akemi Takada, and Mamoru Oshii. Together they worked on the anime series Patlabor and the two episode OVA Twilight Q.
Other staff involved with Headgear include Kenji Kawai, Naoyuki Yoshinaga, Takayama Fumihiko, Kenji Kamiyama, and Miki Tori.
Headgear is the current musical project of the Dublin-born musician and producer Daragh Dukes and several other collaborators and fellow producers. Musically, it can perhaps best be described as a collage of electronica and rock.

The eponymous album, Headgear, featuring the singles Singin' in The Drain and Halibut, was released in 2004, on Dukes' own Marthadigs label, to critical acclaim. Irish music magazine Hot Press called it "a beguiling marriage of bedsit melancholia with laboratory electronica and quite the chamber-pop pocket symphony".
Irish comedian Pat Shortt plays saxophone on the Headgear track Singin' in The Drain. The Cranberries' drummer, Fergal Lawler, played live with Headgear in Dublin in 2003.
In recent times, the music of Headgear has seen increasing public exposure due to plays on the popular Mystery Train radio show on RTÉ Radio 1, including a live set, and appearances on The View on RTÉ television.
Dukes is also currently taking part in the Wasted Youth Orchestra, a new musical project, with Rory Carlile. Live performances and an album are planned.
Headgear continue to make occasional live appearances, and a new album, named Flight Cases, was released in early 2007.
