The Jet Boy Bangerz from Exile Tribe (Japanese: ザ・ジェット ボーイ バンガーズ フロム エグザイル トライブ, stylized as THE JET BOY BANGERZ from EXILE TRIBE) is a ten-member boy band formed in 2022.[1] The group is part of the collective Exile Tribe, managed by LDH. They released their debut single "Jettin'" in August 2023.[2]

The group’s abbreviation is “TJBB.” [4]

The fanbase is called “Team Jetz.” The name reflects the concept of fans uniting with the members as wings and a driving force that enable them to soar higher together. [5]
