Luce Twinkle Wink☆ is a Japanese idol unit under Arc Jewel, best known for their colorful member lineup and anime tie-ins. The group went through several name changes before landing on their current identity: they started as Lovely★Doll trainees in late 2012, became Love☆Ken in 2013, split briefly into two subunits in early 2014, then settled on Luce Twinkle Wink☆ by May 2014. They made their major debut through NBC Universal Entertainment Japan in November 2015 with the single Koiiro♡Shikoukairo.
The unit's gotten involved in some interesting side projects too. They formed Tenchuu Girls as part of the Black Bullet anime promotion alongside dancer Kanami Sawaguchi and voice actress Erika Kaiho, and backed up fripSide as dancers at Animelo Summer Live 2015.
