Mishima is a Catalan Indie pop band created in 1999 in Barcelona. It is composed by David Carabén, Marc Lloret, Dani Vega, Xavi Caparrós snd Alfons Serra. The group takes the name of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima.

Although his two first albums, recorded in English, were well received by critics, his major success came with the release of his third album Trucar a casa. Recollir les fotos. Pagar la multa (Call home. Pick up photos. Pay the fine) (2005) in catalan language.

Also in catalan language, his next album Set tota la vida (Thirsty the whole life) (2007), is composed by nine stories written and singed by David Carabén. It was said by the music magazine Rockdelux to be one of the best Spanish albums from the decade.

In 2 June 2010, his fifth album, Ordre i aventura (Order and adventure) was presented in Barcelona.
