TEAM NACS (Japanese: チーム・ナックス) is a Japanese theatrical and musical unit that was formed in 1996 by Hiroyuki Morisaki, Ken Yasuda, Shigeyuki Totsugi, Yo Oizumi, and Takuma Oto'o.[1] It is often called NACS (ナックス).[2][3] Prior to October 2005, the group name was formerly TEAM-NACS.[4] They belong to Creative Office Cue, an entertainment agency located in Sapporo, Hokkaido. They have a business alliance with Amuse Inc., a major entertainment agency in Tokyo, and have adopted a system that "Amuse handles all the work in the national wards other than Hokkaido".[5]

The group was formed by five members of the Hokkai Gakuen University Theater Study Group. It was disbanded shortly after its formation due to the employment of its members, but it was reunited in 1997. After that, they performed on stage in Hokkaido. In Hokkaido, except for performances, he was mainly active as a local talent group appearing in late-night programs.[5][6]

In May 2004, he performed his first performance in Tokyo with "LOOSER-Ushinai Tsuzuketa Album-", and in April – September 2005, he performed his first national tour performance in "COMPOSER-Hibikitsuzukeru Senritsu no Shirabe-".[5]

Currently, in addition to activities as a unit, activities as actors and celebrity of each member are also actively carried out, and its name recognition has become a national district. In the national district, individual activities are the main activity, and everyone gathers mainly during the main performance of the stage, which is held once every three years, and the location of the local program "Hanatare NACS" in Hokkaido.[5]

Currently, it is said to be "the theater company that cannot get the best tickets in Japan" and has established popularity in the national ward.[7]

"NACS" was a "derogatory name" that was called by separating the five people who stood out among the theater study groups from the theater study group. It comes from the fact that when Morisaki played the role of "Knox" in the play of the drama study group, he pronounced it with all his might, so he heard it as "Nacs". "North Actors Club Special" on the once-used logo is a backronym.[8]
