Hikaru Genji (光GENJI) was a Japanese musical group run by Johnny & Associates from 1987 to 1995. They were named after the character Hikaru Genji of The Tale of Genji. The popular group SMAP started out as backing singers for them. In 1994 Mikio Osawa and Hiroyuki Sato left the group, the remaining members formed Hikaru Genji SUPER 5 which was disbanded a year later. Of these five, Kazumi Morohoshi, and Jun'ichi Yamamoto have since left the company.
