Boys and Men, stylized as BOYS AND MEN (not to be confused with American rhythm and blues group Boyz II Men), and colloquially referred to as BOYMEN or BM, is a Japanese idol group established in 2010 in Nagoya. The group is composed mainly of members from the Tōkai region. They belong to Fortune Entertainment. The group started up by performing musicals with singing, acting, and dancing. They then started to show up on TV shows, on the radio, and at different kinds of music festivals. The group's base activity location is Nagoya. It was originally an organization with several dozen members, and has been a five-member group since April 2024. It has two spin-off units, YanKee5 and Makoto.
Their single "BOYMEN Ninja" was number one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and also number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. Their single "Wanna be!" was also number-one on both charts.
