i☆Ris (アイリス) is a J-Pop anisong idol group formed in 2012, they are under the management of Avex, their agency is 81 Produce and their label is DIVE II Entertainment.

They are also known as a hybrid seiyuu-idol group due to the fact they work as singing idols as well as seiyuu (voice actors).

The girls hosted a radio show called A&G Artist Zone i☆Risの2h from August 2013 to December 2014. As all members are seiyuu, they're currently 6 of the main casts of the anime PriPara since August 2014. In March 2016, the group won the Best Musical Performance in the 10th Seiyuu Awards.

Due to her own personal goals and dreams, Azuki graduated from the group on March 31, 2021.

On November 7, 2022 during their "i☆Ris 10th Anniversary Live~a Live~" concert, it was announced that an anime film i☆Ris the Movie -Full Energy!!- was in production with an expected release in 2024.
