A Japanese idol group formed in 1995 by Johnny's and Associates (also known as Johnny's Jimusho), who brought famous groups such as SMAP, Shounentai, TOKIO, and Hikaru GENJI, they were created as mascots for the Volleyball World Cup. They consist of six members, so their group name is pretty much [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] (although the V is still ambiguous, even to the members themselves), but unlike other Johnny's groups, they also have two subgroups which have their own releases and separate live concerts; 20th Century (Masayuki Sakamoto, Hiroshi Nagano, Yoshihiko Inohara) and Coming Century (Go Morita, Ken Miyake, Junichi Okada).

Fans started referring Okada as Okada!Jesus and (in a way) created their own religion.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Ken. Despite being 32 years old, [http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrqwfaVGX71r3prpdo1_500.png he still looks the same as he did when he was 17.] Watch any show where they mention his age and you'll get a collective "EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH?!" from the audience/hosts.
