Faky (stylized as FAKY) was a five-person Japanese girl group that debuted in 2013 under Avex's Rhythm Zone record label.[2] The group has gone through two reformations and disbanded in 2024. It consisted of Lil' Fang, Mikako, Hina, Akina, and Taki at the end.[3]

The group name was derived from the word "fake" to challenge themselves to bring something "real" to the Japanese music scene.[4] Their name also stands for "Five Ass Kicking Youngsters" and "FAntastic toKYo".[5] The group defines themselves as a "Next Generation Girls Union" and tends to take musical inspiration from outside of Japan while incorporating Japanese culture and fashion.[3][6]
