Peach-Pit (ピーチ・ピット, Pīchi Pitto^?) is a female manga artist duo in Japan, made up of Banri Sendo (千道 万里, Sendō Banri^?) and Shibuko Ebara (えばら 渋子, Ebara Shibuko^?). Their group name derives from the diner hangout in the TV show Beverly Hills 90210.^[1] Although both have similar styles, with some artwork it is possible to identify which artist drew it. Both are known for their bishōjo styled works. As noted in their books, they are both Geminis and have "Almost flushed our phones down the toilet...twice."

The two of them grew up together and went to the same elementary school and have been best friends ever since. Both started as doujinshi manga artists, but not as Peach-Pit. Then they were scouted by Dengeki Comic Gao!.^[1] In 2008, one of their manga, Shugo Chara!, was awarded the Kodansha Manga Award for best children's manga.^[2]
