TSURI×BIT (つりビット Tsuribitto) is a Japanese 5-member girl idol group. It released its debut single in 2013.[1]

The group is fishing-themed.[1] The groups's name ("つりビット") is a portmandeau, composed of two parts: "angling" (釣り tsuri) and "bit" (as it is explained, "bit" is an English word for "a small piece" or "the smallest unit").[2][3][4]

Members

Each member has "a fish she wants to catch". For example, Ayu Konishi wants to catch an ayu because it's a homonym of her name.[5]
