is a Japanese idol group formed in 2015 by Johnny & Associates and currently managed by Starto Entertainment. The group made its official debut on January 22, 2020 under Sony Music Entertainment Japan. As of year, SixTONES has sold over 6.24 million physical records in Japan.
== Name == Johnny Kitagawa, the late leader of Johnny & Associates named the group "SixTones". Initially named "Six Tones", the name was later changed to "SixTones" (pronounced "Stones", with the "ix" in "Six" being silent). The "stones" pronunciation refers to "diamond in the rough", where the group's potential emerges as its members continually polish and refine their skills. The name also refers to the six members, each with a distinctive tone, personality and sound.
