Faky (フェイキー Feikī) (stylized as FAKY) is a four-person Japanese girl group that debuted in 2013 under Avex's Rhythm Zone record label.[1] As of February 2016, the group currently consists of Anna, Lil' Fang, Mikako and Akina. The group tends to take musical inspiration from cultures outside of Japan.[2]

The group's name and concept was first revealed on a teaser site in March 2013, before the members were officially revealed on the 22nd of the same month. Their first music video, Better Without You, was released on March 29, 2013.[3][4] Their first album was released through iTunes on May 28, 2014.[5]

In October 2015, the group went on hiatus and lost two of its then-members: Diane and Tina. When the group restarted activities a few months later, Akina joined the group.[2]
