Yoshimotozaka46 (吉本坂46; Yoshimotozaka Fōtīshikkusu) is a Japanese co-ed idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto. It was created on February 21, 2018.[1] It is Nogizaka46's second sister group, after Keyakizaka46 (now split between Sakurazaka46 and Hinatazaka46). This was named after the Osaka-based entertainment company, Yoshimoto Kogyo Holdings.
History
On February 21, 2018, the Sakamichi Series wanted to make a third overall group that will change idol history, with its unisex concept that fits all genders and ages with not just only the usual musical acts, but also with Owarai comedy concept.
The Japanese version of Men in Black: International uses a song by them, titled "Konya wa Eeyan".[2]
On October 29, 2021, it was announced the group would go on hiatus after a concert at Zepp Haneda on February 5, 2022.[3]
