W-inds (stylized as ''w-inds.'') is a Japanese BoyBand trio that came together in 2000, and officially debuted in 2001. The members of the group are Ryohei Chiba, Keita Tachibana, and Ryuichi Ogata. They went on a hiatus in 2012, but have made a comeback in 2014.
W-inds started out as your standard fare trio of TeenIdol [[IdolSinger Singers]], headed by Keita as the lead singer, who passed the Starlight Auditions hosted by management Vision Factory, and with Ryohei and Ryuichi, two boys who passed an audition at their dance school in Hokkaido, as his dancers. Soon, Ryohei and Ryuichi began providing back-up vocals and raps to their songs. Beginning their career with bubblegum pop, they transitioned to mature ballads around the 2004 era, came back with dance music around 2009, and have now seemed to dabble into contemporary R&B. From 2001 to 2008, they also had their own radio show, titled ''W-inds' Windy Street''.

They are pretty much known for their 2003 hit, "Super Lover ~I need you tonight~", and to anime fans, they're known for providing one of the ending theme songs to ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''.
! Tropes that apply to W-inds. includes:
* AWildRapperAppears: G-Dragon from Music/BigBang appeared as a guest rapper on "Rain is Fallin'."
* {{Adorkable}}: Keita generally has the most dorky reactions during their appearances at variety shows in their earlier days. He also mispronounced Ryuichi's name when congratulating him on his birthday at one of their concerts.
* AudienceParticipationSong: W-inds will often perform their debut song, "Forever Memories", during the encore, and have the audience participate in singing the chorus.
* DeadpanSnarker: Ryuichi's good at snarking, but Ryohei takes the cake.

* GratuitousEnglish: In a lot of their songs, there's at least one English word in it. Who can forget, "Hi, baby! Don't you know me? I need super lover tonight!"
* HappilyMarried: Keita married [[Music/HelloProject Aya Matsuura]] in 2012, whom he had been dating since 2001 (when they were 15-16!).
* HostClub: The music video for "Super Lover ~I need you tonight~" oozes this.
* LargeHam: Ryuichi can be this the most often. Case in point: one of the commercials W-inds did for Bourbon Gum has him crying out dramatically for his teddy bear left in the rain.
* MeaningfulName: W-inds owes their name to the heavy winds that "brought them together", as Ryohei and Ryuichi were from Hokkaido, known for being extremely windy.
* OneHeadTaller: Keita towers over both Ryuichi and Ryohei, who are at the same height.
